    Don Thompson

    language (Outskirts Press, Inc., Aug. 18, 2011)
    What if coins could talk?What if coins could talk? In “The Adventures of Lucky and Nicky” they can! And much more! On one hand, Lucky (The Penny) and Nicky (The Nickel) are like your typical 12 year old boys that like to run and play. But on the other hand, the predicaments they encounter are very different. This book “Lucky Gets Trapped in a Penny Loafer” finds our coins in an unusual situation. As Lucky and Nicky are racing down the sidewalk, Lucky sees a boy running towards them.”Let’s get out of here!” shouts Lucky. Timmy chases the coins until they slow down and fall over with exhaustion. He scoops them up and runs towards his mother. He is very excited because he knows coins are valuable and plans to add them to his piggy bank. But his mother has a better idea for Lucky. She shows Timmy how to put the coin between the flaps of his penny loafer. Lucky is trapped. Later that night while Timmy is sleeping, Nicky finds Lucky sad and frightened under the bed. Unable to free him, Nicky dashes off looking for help. Soon, he finds Diana, a beautiful young dime. She tells Nicky “I don’t think I can be much help, but my father will help you.” She yells, “father, come quickly!” Out of the crack in the wall, like a locomotive coming through a tunnel, appears a big and powerful 50 cent piece called Mr. Jack. Nicky leads Diana and her father to Lucky. Soon Lucky will be free.

  • Gods Don't Sleep

    T. Thompson

    (Independently published, Dec. 19, 2014)
    Bryson Miller is a sixteen-year-old high school student who has already dealt with his mother's death and his father's subsequent alcoholism. When that happened, he adapted. He became the core of the family, making sure that groceries were bought and his sisters stayed out of trouble all while maintaining perfect grades with matching ambitions. Balancing his dysfunctional family life with a shining image became routine. He doesn't view himself as special or even especially unlucky. After all, there are plenty of people in his small town who are worse off. What is supposed to be just another normal Friday night, attending his friend Gary's party and keeping Gary out of trouble, becomes a nightmare when Bryson is attacked. In the days that follow, he does what he always does and attempts to adjust... to being a vampire. However, his sire won't leave him or his family alone. What she wants isn't something Bryson is willing to give, and when her threats to his girlfriend get Bryson killed, his soul ends up in the Underworld, ruled by the creator of vampires, the God of Temptation. Now Bryson is being asked to work for the god responsible not only for ruining his life but actually ending it. Although given a choice, the consequences for his refusal are far more complicated and far reaching than they seem. When he learns he won't be the one paying the price, how can he say no? Gods Don't Sleep is the first book in a planned trilogy. It serves as an origin story for the young protagonist and sets up the action to come.
