Fears, Facades, and Funny Freckles Review

FEARS, FACADES, and FUNNY FRECKLES, is a fiction novel with a wide range of emotions. It seesaws from devastating sorrow and grief, to wellsprings of joy and loving tenderness. Essie Fisher marries the man of her youthful dreams, Thomas Thaddeus Baker.

Suffering inwardly by the cruel shooting of his beagle, Wade joins the army, fighting in the jungles of the Vietnam War during the early nineteen seventies. Returning, he must deal with posttraumatic stress, all the loss he encountered, and inward scars. Jeremiah, an ex-prisoner and desperately in need of grammar skills arrives as a steady anchor. Shining God's love to downtrodden souls, he helps spin the Potter's wheel with the aid of the Holy Spirit. His poorly pronounced words miraculously soar on the flip-flapping wings of faith. Will Essie and Wade discover the necessary fortitude, courage, and love to forgive and come to grips with their raging past once and for all? Only time will tell-or will it?

Chasing the Rodeo: On Wild Rides and Big Dreams, Broken Hearts and Broken Bones, and One Man's Search for the West

Chasing the Rodeo: On Wild Rides and Big Dreams, Broken Hearts and Broken Bones, and One Man's Search for the West Review

From its roots as the quintessential Western pastime, rodeo has grown to an international, prime-time television sport. Steeped in tradition and the independent spirit of the range, aspiring cowboys and cowgirls are called to its high-stakes, rough-and-tumble fame as they risk their lives for eight seconds of triumph.

In Chasing the Rodeo W. K. Stratton follows this quest for one season of the pro rodeo and bull-riding tours. He explores the history of the chutes -- from rodeo's disputed origins (Prescott, Arizona, or Pecos, Texas?) to its current skyrocketing popularity. But out on the trail Stratton finds more than calf-roping and unrideable bulls, uncovering a culture complete with myths, codes of honor, million-dollar purses, Cowboy Church, and the kinds of legends that make good stories unforgettable.

Just such a story emerges here as Stratton tells of his runaway "rodeo bum" father --Cowboy Don -- whose specter haunts his travels on the circuit. As he learns more about the life that proved too seductive for his father to abandon, Stratton fills in a portrait of the man he never knew but whose legacy he couldn't help but inherit.

Filled with cowboy longing and rodeo dreams, this is a tribute to the characters of the West -- Freckles Brown, Lucille Mulhall (the first cowgirl), Wild Bill Hickock, Lane Frost, and today's superstars like Jesse Bail. In the great tradition of Wallace Stegner and Ken Kesey, W. K. Stratton fashions an expansive tale out of the gritty reality of the life around us. Chasing the Rodeo is a bucking, riveting, glorious ride -- you'll want to hang on for the whole go-round.

Arcturus, suddenly thrown into a position of authority, must confront this secret and his destiny. Will he be able to save the universe from prolonged destruction and restore peace or will secrets regarding his true self destroy him and end universal human peace forever?
