"Chancy Flint" tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy who is suddenly forced to accept adult responsibilities in Civil War era Kentucky. His mother is kidnapped by an evil Shawnee war chief. His father sets out to rescue her, leaving Chancy to care for his five-year-old brother, the family farm, and all the animals. Chancy faces many challenges at which most grown-ups would cringe. But we see him grow up straight and strong, tempered by adversity, not defeated by it.
JUST ONE OF THE BOYS Chancy Freedman had grown up on the Bar Q ranch. She had learned how to rope and ride, and the ranch hands had looked out for her "best they could." But they couldn't teach her the art of being a lady, and poor Chancy had made it to her twentieth birthday without learning how. And then Clifford Robertson rode into town…. Cliff was a real cowboy, with an easy, long-legged stride and a confident air. Nothing rattled this dude—until the irrepressible Chancy roped him in. The virginal beauty had decided Cliff would make a most appropriate teacher. That wily wrangler was in for the ride of his life!
When actress Chancy Phillips hits the big time, she believes she's finally left the brutality and deprivation of her childhood behind. That is, until she comes home unexpectedly and finds her husband, aging quarterback John Wade, in bed with another woman. Realizing that her marriage is just another abusive relationship, she flees in despair; by doing so she sets in motion events that could reignite their love for one another, but also opens the door to monsters from her past. The key to which will prevail lies in a warning from her dead mother...if only she can decipher it in time!
Chancy Flint: Cowboy is the second in a series of five novels following the life of a young man from age twelve into his thirties. Chancy becomes a cowboy who is good with horses, cattle, and guns. Honest, courageous, hard-working and loyal, Chancy is a man to ride the river with. Right after the Civil War Chancy and his partners ride into South Texas and round up and brand over 3,000 unbranded mavericks and 365 horses. They then drive the herd up the Shawnee Trail to the railhead at Sedalia, Missouri. Along the way, they must deal with violent weather, floods, stampedes, hostile Indians, and rustlers. Chancy faces life's challenges with courage and resourcefulness. Over the five novels we watch him grow up straight and strong, tempered by adversity, not defeated by it.
American Book Award Winner Aspen Words Literary Prize Finalist A NPR, Boston Globe, New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, and Library Journal Best Book of the Year “Stunning.” —Margaret Atwood At the end of a long, sweltering day, an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude shakes the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. Award-winning author Myriam J. A. Chancy masterfully charts the inner lives of the characters affected by the disaster—Richard, an expat and wealthy water-bottling executive with a secret daughter; the daughter, Anne, an architect who drafts affordable housing structures for a global NGO; a small-time drug trafficker, Leopold, who pines for a beautiful call girl; Sonia and her business partner, Dieudonné, who are followed by a man they believe is the vodou spirit of death; Didier, an emigrant musician who drives a taxi in Boston; Sara, a mother haunted by the ghosts of her children in an IDP camp; her husband, Olivier, an accountant forced to abandon the wife he loves; their son, Jonas, who haunts them both; and Ma Lou, the old woman selling produce in the market who remembers them all. Brilliantly crafted, fiercely imagined, and deeply haunting, What Storm, What Thunder is a singular, stunning record, a reckoning of the heartbreaking trauma of disaster, and—at the same time—an unforgettable testimony to the tenacity of the human spirit.
He was an orphan from the hills of Tennessee and he hadn’t eaten in three days. With the front of his stomach making friends with the back, he was in no position to let an opportunity slip by unnoticed. And when Chancy defended his new herd of cattle with a shotgun, he didn’t miss. The dead man left a pistol on the ground. Chancy needed a spare and, after stowing it in his bedroll, forgot about it. He had a cattle drive to finish and a profit to make. But the gun had a history. Another killing had taken place and Chancy would never know the truth until it was too late. Now, locked in a jail cell with an angry, drunken mob outside and time running out, he must somehow find a way to prove his innocence.
