ThunderCloud

The Oddities of a Young Man's Journey to Manhood

Beschreibung

ThunderCloud... begins with a front-row look into a troubled Native-American teenager's trial and ex-communication from his "Principal People" (the Cherokee). His struggles to survive in a world full of strangers, some good, some bad, in many ways mirror our own. ThunderCloud's external obstacles force him to confront his real and imaginary inner demons that led him to his lonely situation in life. What he discovers inside changes his outlook on his past, present, and future. The oddities of the individuals, cultures, and generations that come across his path challenge his manhood and determine his ability to relate to and live and work within a group. He learns -- and we do with him -- that, ultimately, every bit of his life, including the consequences of his decisions and actions, measures his responsibility level. Whether or not his tribe accepts him upon his return with a motley gaggle of people and numerous stories to tell is his final challenge after rescuing a gang of youthful renegades, one precocious runaway, and the woman who may one day bear his children! Reader Review: "'THUNDERCLOUD ...' by Ronald Joseph Kule is a stunning novel! I enjoyed it very much. I loved reading about the shoo-fly pie - the first time I have heard about it." - Jean Hughes, avid book-reader from North Dakota.

Autor

In the words of Ronald Joseph Kule, "'Internationally published author, biographer, and ghostwriter of non-fiction and novels' sounds fancy, but I'm simply a professional author with skills and a mission to write entertaining, uplifting stories for my readers' enjoyment. People tell me, 'You paint emotional pictures with your words.' Well, I write what I see in front of me, adding imagination where it improves the story." Growing up in a cramped household, competing for personal space among seven brothers and sisters; two parents; (most times) at least one good hunting dog; and a score of kids living on our block, I learned how to hold my ground, at times from a perch 30 feet high on my favorite tree in the woods behind our house. Born in Bogota, Colombia, from Polish-immigrant coal miner and blue-blooded, Colombian-Chilean parentage, Kule came to appreciate ethnic values and cultural differences by observing directly the disparate social classes and living conditions of Colombia, Peru, Chile, Panama, the 48 contiguous American states and Hawaii, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, England, Holland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Japan, Russia, mainland China, Barbados, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent. His heritage paint-brushed wanderlust onto his life-canvas: he has spent time in 39 countries and performed speaking engagements in 17. He laughs often and can experience a panorama of emotions just for fun, but he prefers making other people smile, laugh, and generally feel happier for having met him or read his books. "If you curl up with one of my books and find yourself breathless, provoked, inspired, changed, and feeling like you just undertook an important journey that left you more than satisfied, my job as the author will have been a success." Currently, Ronald Joseph Kule writes from Clearwater, Florida, but his passport yearns for more nation-stamps, and his bags can be packed on a moment's notice! Because the author also enjoyed a successful sales, sales management, and sales-training career spanning 39 years, he developed a uniquely different approach to selling that he shares through his acclaimed sales-book series, LISTEN MORE SELL MORE. He also conducts sales-training workshops based on those books when commissioned.
