Bøker av C W Spooner

Grayson Dunn is falsely accused of murder. As a down-on-his-luck foster kid, jaded by years of abuse and disappointment, he knows better than to believe the law will take his side. His only option is to run, even though it means abandoning his sister Stacey, the only person alive who loves him. His flight takes him from Missouri to California, meeting unforgettable characters along the way. He connects with Jenny Simms, a talented singer-songwriter bound for Hollywood and the dream of stardom. Meanwhile, Lucciana DeStefano is hired to hunt Gray down. She has never failed to complete a contract and will stop at nothing. Gray and Jenny part ways for a time, only to come together again in a small Northern California town-mere steps ahead of the hunter. C.W. Spooner adds seven short stories to this volume which further explore themes of family-those we're born to, and those we choose-and the kismet that often puts us exactly where we need to be.

Nicholas Shane Jr. heads for work on a bright June morning, his first day on the job with the Vallejo Street Department. Nick has definite goals in mind: earn a baseball scholarship to a major university, bank a few dollars to pay the bills, and hold on to Donna, his first love. But his most important goal is to honor the legacy of his late father, a legend for his blue-collar work ethic. With his fathers lunch pail by his side, Nick has no idea of the adventures ahead or the characters he will meet along the way. Its a road with many potholes, but it teaches him the lessons of friendship, loyalty, love, and loss. Nick travels far from home, but his heart never leaves the streets of Vallejo. C. W. Spooner returns to his roots for this story of home, family, and friends both old and new.
