Bøker av Ben Schulz

Twenty-five brief sketches of adventure, action and truth, the Sawtooth Waves are calling...Inspired by Stephen Crane and Carl Sandburg, author Ben Schulz observes the giant, clumsy forest and ponders what makes it tick. He usually passes by the perfectly pruned rose. The variety of his subjects is broad, held together by his love of color, imagery, and, at times, humor. The Sawtooth Waves are calling. These poems have rhythm. They are dreamlike and possess a certain rawness, like when you spend the afternoon interpreting a grainy Edwardian era photograph. Take a swim inside the waves and behold a fresh perspective on nature, art, human conflict, and beauty.

Who murdered Nancy Guterman in Cincinnati over a century ago? Travel back in time and join firefighter William Foss on a hunt for a killer and experience the grittiness of urban life in Cincinnati in 1898, from its soulful music, technology, steamboats, river culture and the African American experience along the underdeveloped shore, to the rise of America's favorite pastime, baseball. Smell the Cracker Jacks at the ballpark and ride the carousels, as you are transported back to the time of the Spanish-American War. With the odds stacked against him, can Foss solve the case and catch the killer?

War. Families are torn apart, estates are plundered, farms are torched, and the war lays bare the dilemmas of mankind--the struggle, boredom, treachery, and fear. Brothers Jacob and Aaron Abbott serve His Majesty's Army nobly, but circumstance and fate violently disrupt their lives, removing them from a peaceful war to a dangerous peace. They embark on a thrilling journey across the great state of Pennsylvania, a wilderness, in 1778. From Swatara Creek to Chambers Gate, they guard against the elements, befriend some unlikely locals, and display courage and good sense to combat the danger and confusion that lurk inside the dense gray foliage that engulfs them. One thing is for sure: the sun sets in the west, and that is where the adventure will send them.
