About the Book

They walked to the south a sign read Nashville 62 miles...in a few days they would be there and search again; or fight again; or die if they encountered another bad group, for now their numbers were only two and the two that walked side by side both grieved for those of the past. But what was to be the future? Two against the world with only hunger, long walks, and fights to survive following in their wake. Was there any hope? Could there be other people who had survived the nightmare of the past six years? Could any that remained be of good mind and spirit, or were they alone in their search for good people. As long as there was any hope they vowed to push onward and have faith in the future. Its not over until it’s over sweetheart don’t give up on me—we didn’t make it this far to be defeated. Those we left behind walk with us and will be with us always.

About the Author

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama and lived only a block away from Roebuck Golf Course. When I was 12 I was a double bogie golfer and hopefully headed for a golf career. At 13 our family moved to the country near Montevallo, Alabama and life began anew. My brother, sister and I fell in love with the rural life and sports like hunting, fishing, camping out and horseback riding became our growing up fun and pleasures. We all developed a deep love for the country life that’s always been with us. I was educated at Montevallo High School and attended the University of Alabama and followed construction occupations for several years. My desires pushed my will for success and I opened a construction business and became a successful home builder. My love for youth sports bloomed and I became an organizer of teams and leagues. My hands on coaching was very successful. I can truthfully say that I was never more pleased than I was in seeing the youth in our community achieve their highest goals. My writing is a special love as I’ve had a romance with the pen for many years going back to my English Teacher Vinnie Lee Walker, at Montavallo High School. She lit the fire and I burned the midnight oil. We all need to say thanks to teachers like her. I love the craft and in writing I’ll always try to tell a story and try to give the glimpses of what life is really about. I now live in Birmingham, Alabama and enjoy living life with my three children and the special woman in my life, Joan. I have six grandchildren and one great granddaughter and seven great grandsons.
