Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After her father dies, fourteen-year-old Corin needs her brother, Sonny, more than ever. Sonny is quiet but he's a great listener, and Cory knows where she can always find him - in the garage, working on his car. Life isn't so bad as long as Sonny is around. But thousands of miles from the sleepy little town of Ojala, California, where all the kids can think about is partying and racing, a war is going on, and Sonny is just the right age to be drafted. When Sonny tells Cory he's going to Vietnam, she is devastated. What are she and her mom supposed to do while he's gone? What if he doesn't come back at all? The new substitute history teacher is the only one who seems to understand. Cory has never met anybody like Lawrence. He's young, he's handsome, and he's passionately against the war that took her brother away. As Cory turns to Lawrence for the comfort Sonny once gave, she finds herself wanting much more than Lawrence could ever provide. Valerie Hobbs eloquently depicts the feelings of loss, betrayal, and love felt by a young woman amid the confusion and excitement of the 1960s. Sonny's War is a 2003 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Book excerpt: A Texas Ranger pursues a deadly drug cartel through the badlands of Big Bend in this Western thriller by the Spur Award–winning author of Hawke’s Target. The serene beauty of West Texas’s Big Bend National Park is shattered when four hikers are brutally ambushed by a sniper. Only one survives to report the murders. When investigators come up with nothing, they’re left wondering if this is an isolated incident—or the beginning of a rampage. One week later, Texas Ranger Sonny Hawke heads into the park, determined to unearth the truth. Before he knows it, he’s in the same sniper’s crosshairs. The drug and human smuggling cartel Coyotes Rabiosos—Rabid Coyotes—have lured him to remote backcountry, looking for payback for an old grudge. Wounded and stranded in the harsh desert terrain, Sonny is hunted, outnumbered, and about to become the target of an even more dangerous enemy—one whose thirst for revenge could incite an international conflict far beyond the U.S.-Mexican border.

Download or read book Like Sonny Hit a Tree! written by Thomas Lee Gorzynski and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, Congressman Sonny Bono, who came to fame as part of the singing duo Sonny & Cher, died while skiing alone near South Lake Tahoe, Nevada. After his music career ended, Salvatore Phillip “Sonny” Bono became mayor of Palm Springs, California, and in 1995 was named congressman for California’s 44th district. As a freshman congressman, he tried to shake things up in Washington. Former policeman Thomas Lee Gorzynski’s new investigative book Like Sonny Hit a Tree probes into whether his death was really an accident. The author also delves into the mysterious death of writer Danny Casolaro, who was about to reveal a massive government plot. He was found dead in a Martinsburg, West Virginia hotel in 1991 with his wrists slashed ten to twelve times. Are these two deaths connected? Joseph Daniel Casolaro’s cause of death was controversial because he was in Martinsburg to meet a source on a story he called “the Octopus.” His investigation involved an international government collaboration concerning the Iran-Contra scandal and other business plots. Before heading for Martinsburg, he told his brother that if something happened to him in Martinsburg, it would not be an accident.

Book excerpt: It has been more than sixty years since anyone called author Ron Gabriel Sonny. The nickname was bestowed upon him back in Delaware, Ohio, and it carried through the 1940s and 50s. Back then, Sonny was a carefree kid who spent his days running around the neighborhood with his buddies, getting into the occasional scuffle and scrape. Six decades later, how things have changed. Sonny is the true account of a young man who lived out his days in the Midwest. Back then, there was no such thing as Little League; the kids made their own games instead, running and playing as they chose. As Sonny grew up, so did his interests. He bought his first car for forty dollars and nicknamed it The Green Spleen. He met the love of his life and became a husband and fatherand, eventually, a grandfather. Intended to entertain, amuse, and inform, Sonny offers a detailed recording of how the world once was, before the existence of cell phones and the Internet. Gabriel played witness to several events in history, but he also created his own history as a grandfather and an Ohio State fan. Take a step back to another time, when things were more innocent, people moved a bit slower, and young Sonny dreamed of an unknown future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four suspenseful southwestern mysteries featuring a Chicano PI in New Mexico, by the “extraordinary” author of Bless Me, Ultima (Los Angeles Times Book Review). These four novels starring detective Sonny Baca are set against the terrain of the American Southwest, blending its Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultures. Zia Summer: Sonny Baca’s cousin Gloria is brutally slain, her body found drained of blood with a Zia sun sign—the symbol on the New Mexican flag—carved on her stomach. His quest to find her killer leads Baca across New Mexico’s diverse South Valley to an environmental compound and a terrifying brujo. Rio Grande Fall: A woman plummets to her death from a hot air balloon during Albuquerque’s famous Balloon Fiesta—and Baca recognizes it as no accident. Shaman Winter: Baca, confined to a wheelchair after a violent encounter, is haunted by chilling dreams, but has no choice but to go to work when the Santa Fe mayor’s teenage daughter disappears and the trail leads to a charismatic and dangerous shaman. Jemez Spring: A high-profile murder ignites a hotbed of political treachery and terrorist threats that take Baca to Los Alamos, pitting him against a formidable foe—and a nuclear bomb. Unrelentingly suspenseful, with vivid details of the physical and spiritual landscape of northern New Mexico, these mysteries are perfect for fans of Margaret Coel or James D. Doss and star “a fascinating hero” (Edmonton Journal).
