Produktbeschreibung

What would you do if you discovered that your long-held dream was a cheat? If it turned out that the goal you had been pursuing almost all your life with everything you had was only a hollow deception after all?

Michael Anders has to face this when he finally lays his hand on the brass ring.

Like all of us, Michael Anders had a dream. Ever since he was a kid in junior rodeo, he dreamed of becoming a world-champion rodeo cowboy riding bulls and bareback horses, scoring high, winning big buckles, basking in the glory.

But when it all seems within his reach, things begin to unravel . . . in this tale of seduction, betrayal, and redemption.

Join Michael Anders, Jim Ed Sarkos, and Kirby Jordan as they travel from Goshen, Texas, to a wandering in western Kansas to New Canaan, Iowa where Michael's hopes lie and where Jim Ed and especially Kirby show their true colors. Accompany them through all the broncs, bulls, bruises, beer, and, of course, women. Vicariously experience what rodeo life was (and still is) like for the majority of the cowboys.

Pull your hat down, get a good seat, and get ready to ride!

Autorenporträt

Michael Hearing lives on a few acres in northeastern Oklahoma with four ferrets, three horses, four dogs, one cat, and one wife. He is a former college-level English teacher and writing tutor, a former newspaper columnist, a published author, and a freelance web copywriter. And he grew up reading Robert E. Howard and Jack London.

Like many other authors, Michael tried his hand at a lot of things before settling on writing, gathering a wide range of experience suffered through and drunk to the (sometimes) bitter lees. He even spent a few years as a PRCA rough-stock contestant (bareback horses and bulls). So he knows what he is writing about.

Though Michael didn't have a lot of success in rodeo, he was a keen observer and recorder of these rodeo experiences. For instance, he was present (after missing out his bareback horse on that night) in 1979 at the Palestine, Illinois, rodeo. And there on that night, he watched Denny Flynn go 98 points on Steiner's bull Red Lightning. It's from a trove of memories like this that Michael has drawn to create his realistic, un-put-down-able rodeo novel Ride On.
