JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. BACK IN THE SADDLE. AGAIN. In this rip-roaring Western adventure, a once-famous Texas Ranger who’s given up his badge and gone fishin’ gets back in the saddle to set things straight—with guns blazin’ . . . As a former Texas Ranger, Charlie “Catfish Charlie” Tuttle spent the good part of his life catching outlaws. Happily retired in Wolfwater, Texas, he’s content just catching fish—namely Bubba, the wily old catfish who lives in the pond near Charlie’s shack and keeps slipping off Charlie’s hook. He also likes hanging out with his trusty tomcat Hooligan Hank and tossing back bottles of mustang berry wine. Sure, his glory days are behind him. There’s no reason for Charlie to even think about coming out of retirement . . . It starts with a jailbreak. Frank Thorson and his gang ride into Wolfwater to bust Frank’s brother out of the slammer. First, they slaughter the deputy. Then, the town marshal. Finally, they run off with the marshal’s daughter and no one’s sure if she’s dead or alive. The townsfolk are desperate enough to ask that drunken old coot Catfish Charlie to put down his fishing pole and wine bottles, pick up his Colt Army .44, and go after the bloodthirsty gang. Sure, Catfish Charlie may be a bit rusty after all these years. But when it comes to serving up justice, no one is quicker, faster—or deadlier . . . Once a lawman, always a lawman. Especially a lawman like Catfish Charlie Tuttle.
Jim Crawford of Crawfordsville, Texas knew he was dying. His only concern was how he could let his wife, May Sue, collect double indemnity on his ten thousand dollar life insurance policy. The reason it was so important to him was he wanted his son to be educated at Texas A&M University instead of the University of Texas. Jim wanted his son to grow up to be a man instead of a sissy like his best friend, Charles Ray who would marry May Sue after Big Jim was gone. Find out how Catfish Charlie not only caused Jim to die by accidental drowning, but how the big catfish helped Jim resolve personal conflicts caused by the Korean War. This is a story of poignant conflicts besieging a man dying of cancer.
A Little About Ruby A peaceful setting on a treelined lake in northeastern Oklahoma would seem an ideal fishing spot for a guy who just wanted a bit of time away from the pressures of the office. Why, he'd even be willing to take the family along, too. As it turns out, "peaceful" is a relative term in this memoir of life lived in a multi-family setting in a lake community. Funny, uplifting, nostalgic, edgy, these stories take a wry look at the simpler era of the 1980s, but really, when was life ever really simple? All About Mary Ann Born in Dallas, Texas, the author has spent most of her life in Oklahoma. She received a BA from the University of Tulsa and a master's from Oklahoma University. She and her husband Jo Bob raised four children. She currently divides her time between Tulsa and Grand Lake, and stays well entertained being part of the lives of her seven grandchildren who are all, also, confirmed lakers. Word Around the Campfire "When it comes to capturing a sense of place and heart, Mary Ann Hille joins ranks of such writers Flannery O'Connor and Garrison Keillor. "Ruby" is a wonderful quirky uplifting story about the safe havens we all hold sacred." Teresa Miller, Executive Producer, "Writing Out Loud" "The best stories are the pure and simple ones served straight from the heart and soul without a trace of sticky sentiment or purple prose. These are the stories that satisfy and linger like the taste of something too good to forget. And that is what Mary Ann Hille offers in this collection--good honest stories of family and friends who make their own fun, led by a guy that anyone worth a lick would want to spend lots of time with." Michael Wallis, author of "Route 66: The Mother Road" "Mary Ann Hille set out to chronicle the time her family spent in a magical place, Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, as part of a delightful group, the Boat and Bottle Club. She ends up with a universal tale of love, laughter, and the ties that bind us to the special places and people in our lives. This warm and witty memoir is a rare, not-to-be missed treat " Cassandra King, author of "The Sunday Wife"

“An exciting and engrossing book. . . . will engage fans of Charlie O. Finley and the Oakland Athletics, along with anyone captivated by baseball history.” —Library Journal, starred review The Oakland A’s of the early 1970s: Never before had an entire organization so collectively traumatized baseball’s establishment with its outlandish behavior and business decisions. The high drama that played out on the field—five straight division titles and three straight championships—was exceeded only by the drama in the clubhouse and front office. Under the visionary leadership of owner Charles O. Finley, the team assembled such luminary figures as Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, and Vida Blue, and with garish uniforms and revolutionary facial hair, knocked baseball into the modern age. Finley’s need for control—he was his own general manager and dictated everything from the ballpark organist’s playlist to the menu for the media lounge—made him ill-suited for the advent of free agency. Within two years, his dynasty was lost. A history of one of the game’s most unforgettable teams, Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic is a paean to the sport’s most turbulent, magical team, during one of major league baseball’s most turbulent, magical times. “Masterfully recounts a thrilling period in Oakland A’s history.” —Billy Beane, executive vice president of baseball operations, Oakland A’s “Not to be believed, and yet 100 percent true.” —Steve Fainaru, senior writer for ESPN and author of League of Denial “A must-read for any fan of the sport.” —Chris Ballard, Sports Illustrated senior writer and author of One Shot at Forever “Carefully researched and often hilarious.” —San Francisco Chronicle “A chance to relive a period of outlandish moments in America’s pastime.” —Publishers Weekly

Robert A. Slade, after collecting old fishing tackle since 1958 and contributing articles on old fishing lures for a collector magazine for several years started researching and writing books in the 1990's. He published the HISTORY & COLLECTIBLE FISHING TACKLE OF WISCONSIN in 1999 which sold 4,500 copies. Bob realized that even though there have been many books published on the subject of old fishing lures that few books covered any detailed history on the old lure makers. His latest book writing project was nine years in the making and covers over 100 years of lure making history starting in 1875 and covers over 2,500 lures makers throughout all of North America. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF OLD FISHING LURES MADE IN NORTH AMERICA is the first publication with extensive history and patent information on old lure makers and the first to include extensive coverage on Canadian lure makers. The author traveled to 11 states and 3 Candian Providences visting collectors homes, newspaper archives, museums and other sources and has taken over 10,000 pictures in preparing the historical stories for these books. The set of books arranges for the individual and company lures makers to appear in alphabetical order. People purchasing these books can buy any one single book, a whole set, or even a book a month if they desire as the books will be printed and shipped on demand. Each book has over 400 pages of text, pictures and collector values with each book containing a table of contents and index as well as a master index for the complete set of books.
