Something Gray

SOMETHING GRAY is based on the true-life story of Colonel John Singleton Mosby, the legendary Gray Ghost of the Confederacy.A frail boy, and a magnet for bullies, Mosby is a loser. That is until Aaron Burton, family slave and friend, teaches him to ride, hunt, and most importantly, how to fight back. His philosophy changes Mosby’s life, and his view on slavery. Although his Virginia family had always owned slaves, John’s friendship with Absalom, Aaron’s only son, puts Mosby at odds with his father…and the antebellum South. A true rebel among rebels, Mosby never wanted Virginia to leave the Union, but when secession arrived, along with his friend William’s body, riddled by Yankee bullets, his decision came easy. No stranger to tyrants, the Confederacy’s poor chances suited Mosby, but this war meant Aaron could lose much more. Mosby enlists, and takes Aaron and his philosophy to war. Ever faithful, Aaron serves Mosby in a fight that seems black and white, but by 1865 it is SOMETHING GRAY. Despite his victories, Mosby knows the South cannot win unless the odds change. His gutsy exploits behind enemy lines inspires a bold plan to end the war in one swift move, but can he pull it off before Lee’s army is beaten? Originally written as a screenplay by Phillip T. Hopersberger, but now converted here into an e-book for those who asked to read the rest of this riveting Civil War saga (a sample was briefly available at www.TotallyWriteousCopy.com), SOMETHING GRAY takes us back to our bitter national divorce and like our country, reveals a man both convinced and conflicted."When you read the exploits of someone as audacious as Mosby, you can see it unfolding as a film...well, that's when you know that truth is really stranger than fiction and this should be made into a movie. Until then, we can watch it here on the written page."“In his much-anticipated new novel, XPOSURE, Phillip T. Hopersberger writes with the same vivid descriptions displayed in SOMETHING GRAY, but in a completely new direction. A supernatural thriller, XPOSURE will make you re-think what you knew you believed…and wish he hadn’t written something so close to our tomorrows.”
