  WESTERN THRILLER—OLD WEST DRAMA—ROMANCE NOVEL—ORGANIZED CRIME--VIGILANTE JUSTICE—AND WILD, WICKED SEX!!! S.C. Burns, Author and Historian, hits the mark with Cookesville U.S.A.: The Wildest, Wickedest, Wealthiest Big "Small" Town In the West. 
  Listeners are thrilled with this exciting and erotic Old and New West rendering! In the spirit of famed authors James A. Michener and Louis Lamour, Burns presents an epic saga that takes the listener from 1846 Santa Fé to the 21st century, through authentic stories of Organized Crime, Vigilante Justice, Romance, and Wild, Wicked Sex! Half Western thriller and half modern-day crime novel, Cookesville U.S.A. is an epic romance novel that spans generations. 
  Based on the history and stories of Bakersfield California, Cookesville is a fictional western town whose story, location and peoples have been ripped from the pages of history. Listeners learn the intense backstory of those who initially settled the wild west town of Cookesville in the 1850’s and follow the founders of Cookesville—Frank Cooke, his Native American wife Lily, and their entourage of Native Americans, Mestizos and Chinese—and their offspring, into the 21st century. The story continues in the 1940s with Frank and Lily’s great-grandson, Sam Cooke, who runs a successful law office. His private investigator, Lyndon “Lynnie” Wethers, is integral and essential to the Cookesville story. 
  From his backroom dealings, under-the-table pay-offs, and ties to Bugsy Siegel and the Las Vegas mob, Lynnie’s story and erotic sex life are what really heat up the modern Cookesville story. You won't want to miss a single epoch or individual storyline.In graphic detail, Cookesville shows how the West was really won, by weaving together local and national history and headlines. The explicit red-hot relations add to the excitement, erotica, and bloody crime stories, solidly based upon real characters.

  The Innocence of Father Brown

  G. K. Chesterton

  Chesterton portrays Father Brown as a short, stumpy Roman Catholic priest, with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella, and an uncanny insight into human evil. "How in Tartarus," cried Flambeau, "did you ever hear of the spiked bracelet?" -- "Oh, one's little flock, you know!" said Father Brown, arching his eyebrows rather blankly. "When I was a curate in Hartlepool, there were three of them with spiked bracelets." Not long after he published Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton moved from London to Beaconsfield, and met Father O'Connor. O'Connor had a shrewd insight to the darker side of man's nature and a mild appearance to go with it--and together those came together to become Chesterton's unassuming Father Brown. Chesterton loved the character, and the magazines he wrote for loved the stories. The Innocence of Father Brown was the first collection of them, and it's a great lot of fun.
