About the Book

"In every life, there is a decision that defines who we become."-Anonymous.The year is 1900 and Kingston, Arkansas is not big enough for the dreams of twenty-year-old Mike Gilbert. He makes the difficult decision to leave the family farm and travels to the bustling mining town of Rush. With only his faith, a few dollars in his pocket and pure determination, he manages a meager life. Mike quickly forms friendships, but when he begins a relationship with a girl named Pam, he draws the attention of a jealous and dangerous bootlegger. Faced with an unexpected opportunity, Mike makes a decision that will forever alter his life and the lives of those around him. That decision will test him to his limits and pit him against his faith, a murderous enemy and the raging waters of the Buffalo River.This award-winning story takes you on a journey through the beautiful Ozark hills of Arkansas. Although the story is fictional, the town of Rush was once a thriving mining town along the banks of the Buffalo River. A few tattered buildings still remain in Rush as a reminder of a rich Arkansas history. We hope you enjoy your experience through the pages of Rush Creek.
About the Author: I live in NW Arkansas and have for the past thirty-five years. I'm a jeweler by trade, but when I'm not at my workbench, I'm gardening, spending time on the Buffalo River in a canoe loaded with camping gear, or at my computer writing. Restless with my work, I began writing stories as another creative outlet. I love writing historical fiction wrapped around real events or real places. Rush Arkansas is one such real place. The town dwindled almost as fast as it sprung up around the turn of the century. Now, all that's left are a few old buildings and mine openings with bars across them to prevent entry. I'm currently working on a sequel to Rush Creek that will be out within a year and I hope to write other stories that take place in the area and in my home state of Arkansas. I've written three other novellas that I plan to expand into full-length novels. Rush Creek is the first completed work of what I hope will be many more stories to come.
