America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice Picture Quote #1

Obama has figured out the best method to prepare the way for his verbal Houdini acts: Use political noise as the tune-up din before the aria. Perhaps his body temperature is so low, it sometimes takes him too long to break out the song Picture Quote #1

It’s called ‘The Outlaw Album,’ not ‘The Ozarks Album.’ These are stories that delve into different kinds of outlawry, from criminal acts to interior, or psychological, outlawry. The book is not meant to be a tapestry of the Ozarks Picture Quote #1

I’m all about entertaining and keeping a reader on the edge of their seat, so to me, the social issues have to be meaningful and give the book what’s really ‘at stake,’ but ultimately it’s not about them - it’s always a personal story of everyday people thrust into life-threatening situations and having to perform heroic acts Picture Quote #1
