When Sampson came back from the war again, he wasn't sure how happy his remaining family would be to see him, but there was only one way to find out. Who knows? They might welcome him back with open arms. Then again, they might hide up in the trees and take potshots at him with their hunting rifles. He hadn't exactly left his old home on the best of terms. His own father—or what almost passed for a father—had called him a demon. As if he had any reason to act self-righteous. But no matter now; he was back home again, and he had important things to take care of.

The saddest day I can recollect now is the day I left my clan alone. My brethren. I'll never forget the look on the faces of my clan; one of fear and anxiousness and most of all, sorrow. It wasn't only that they feared for my safety, either; they were afraid of being without their Master, their keeper. Their hero and best friend. We had not only developed a rapport with each other over time, but a genuine love for one another as well. Love, respect, and loyalty. And now I was leaving them behind, even if only briefly, to risk my life for them.

Sometimes, guardian angels can show up in the most unexpected places....

He smells like blood and opium and whiskey, and underneath that something sickly sweet, like rotten fruit. That's what starvation—and death—smells like. He is so thin and frail now, almost gaunt in his appearance, almost skeletal. His current accommodations, a musty, cramped room above a motel-saloon, have also been converted into somewhat of a shrine to him: his 1877 model Colt Lightning hangs on one bedpost, and his trusty Bowie knife from the other. His hand-tailored black hat with the hand-curled brim hangs over the bed, on the wall, like some would hang a picture of Jesus.

The crazy lady—Kyra—wanders and wanders and wanders, and without ever really going anywhere. The town looks so different now—what's left of it, that is—and is in such violent disarray, it's difficult to tell where one end of the town began and the other ended. Burnt-out cars and houses, empty, lonely streets strewn with trash—or worse. Makeshift graves in the front yards of former owners. Yes...something really bad happened out here, and now she has to navigate it all—somehow. She's just trying to get home....

There are a lot of people who will debate the existence of guardian angels. Author Derrick Cutter isn't one of them. Having been raised in a home that was being destroyed from within by alcohol, drugs, and violence, he ran away from home at age 16, longing for freedom from his own private prison. Alone and frightened at first, he would soon meet up with his new best friend, a large white dog named Sheva, who, over the next several years, would show Derrick beyond the shadow of a doubt that guardian angels really do exist, and at times, have paws instead of wings.

Was my old chair magical? Nope. Mystical? No. Does a chair have a soul? Of course not. Can a chair perform miracles? Not really. But...I do believe that God can use his power of divine intervention to use a chair to bring people together or make someone happy when they need it the most.

Georgie thought it had all been a dream—his superpowers, his good looks, and his freedom from his tyrannical mother and her mental abuse. But it hadn't been a dream; it had been a real-life nightmare which Georgie will now wake up from to realize he is stuck in the middle of an alien conspiracy, world colonization of the human race, and the end of the world as we know it. Part The X-Files and part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Black Midnight will thrill fans of science fiction.

"For me, life went on. I grew up, got a job, made new friends, got married, fathered two children, divorced, and moved on again. But no matter where I was or what I was doing or who I was with at the time, I couldn't help but wonder if Elnora's life had moved on--in a happy, normal fashion, that is. So many years later, in the age of the internet and social media, I'd decided to launch my own “investigation” into her life. What I'd found--which wasn't much--led me to believe that her life had been anything but happy or normal."

There are illegal moonshiners that have taken over the building for their own criminal enterprises, and they don't intend to allow two nosey kids to ruin it for them. Trapped in the building and being hunted by a huge man known only as Mr. Hellbilly, they have only nine hours to find a way out....

I’m sitting in a rear corner booth in Bud’s tavern, a known haunt for the walking wounded where they are looking for love in all the wrong places. Under the crimson glare of the bar’s lights, I stare out at a sea of empty lives. Men and women searching for the momentary distraction of drunken comradery to numb themselves from the pain of their own reality. The décor reeks of a pervasive hopelessness that has settled even into the Formica tables; an air of desperation as thick as the spent Scotch fumes from the nearby table.

Back in 1974, I had decided to become something I wasn't, and ended up realizing that all that time I had pretended to be someone else, I wasn't being fair to the real person I was deep down. If you have to be cool and tough, and bully others to feel better about yourself, YOU are the bully—and in more ways than one.

The day Miss Miriam passed away was the saddest day of Luther's life. It had been very sad for Jenny too, of course, but it hit Luther much harder; if it hadn't been for Miss Miriam taking him in as a child, he would have ended up being tossed from one foster home to another indefinitely. But, he was about to be thrust into yet another sad - and this time, evil - world in which a woman in black - who just happens to be a witch - intends to use black magic to take away the only other person Luther has ever loved; his beautiful young wife, Jenny.

Well, here I am again, sharing part of my life with you, for better or for worse. Don't worry; believe it or not, there are actually some happy and sincere moments in this audiobook. This book almost didn't happen. I had always thought about it, but my first attempt at writing an autobiography was a miserable failure at best, full of my early days as alcoholic and the stupid mistakes I made along the way.
