    language (Divergent Mind LLC, Nov. 4, 2017)
    They’re supposed to be the best days of your life. But first you have to survive them. Superstar high school quarterback Brian Hollingsworth might have it all, but he wants none of it. Best friend Dylan is a badass that believes he runs the world — and for the most part — he pretty much does. Randy is a bad boy looking to establish his reputation. Stewart is just a loser turned about by the breeze. A lonely, manipulative boy brings these four disparate teens together in the woods. Fists fly. Revenge escalates. Twenty-four hours later, one is clinging to life. Another has stolen a gun. A coward is on the run and someone is on the hunt. With souls teetering on the edge of tragedy, one-by-one, enemies realize that in order to save themselves they must first save each other. A powerful story about loss and forgiveness, rage and redemption. Told with an amazing amount of heart and a whole lot of F-bombs. “Intense.” “Real.” “Moving.” “Profound.”

Larry's brother paid for Larry to have his fortune told too. But when the old woman saw fire and bombs and death in the silver fortune bowl she would not go on.

  • Mr. Buckerfield

    Mr. Roger L. Greene

    Paperback (Divergent Mind LLC, Jan. 25, 2019)
    This is the legend of Mike Buckerfield, a humble lad who can be kind of a demon but who is not a bad guy, overall. Because of his mom that totally doesn’t get it, our hero Mike is enrolled against his will into prestigious Wentworth Academy where tradition and academic excellence are as solid as it’s 1895 cornerstone. Bla, bla, bla. Who cares?Anyway, the snobby Academy is overrun by rich pukes with upturned noses that don’t drain properly. Although they are not nearly as dangerous as public school kids, they sniff a lot and Mike is pretty sure he will never like any of them, because who could?As if that isn’t bad enough, three teachers immediately start picking on poor Mike. They are: A. Ms. Shernick -The epitome of Evil. B. Mr. Proffitt - Basically a moron. C. Mr. Butler - A big, fat, plaid doofus. (And the lunch lady isn’t very nice either.) They don’t like Mike ‘s attitude, and to be fair, who could blame them? But the cool kids befriend our hero because Mike is as dangerous as jalapeno salsa and as exotic as a pet lion. Mike could actually have a chance at this school until his friends turn on him over an itty bitty little disaster and then everything turns to crap. Anyway, Mike is about to go berserk when the principal of the school (Mike’s natural enemy) gets really disgusted with Mike one day. He decides to do an experiment which turns out to be the most awesome consequence ever to happen to a nearly 13 year old...ever...
