The Road (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998182995)

THE ROAD

A late gust of autumn wind deepens the chill in an apprehensive hunting guide as he chugs along a nearly invisible road in the Texas Hill Country wilderness searching for a lost hunter. Jeremy Bentley, star salesman at the threshold of executive status, suddenly finds himself at the threshold of losing everything if he can't find Bill.

Bill isn't just any lost hunter. He may be a prankster, a drunk, or a greenhorn frantically searching for a way back to New York City. At twilight as shots ring out, tragedy looms for both men, but an unnatural prowess provides an unusual rescue and, perhaps, a redemption.

Jerry Beasley started writing stories when he was nineteen, just about the time he gave up singing in Texas honky-tonks and being the next James Dean in Hollywood, CA. He traveled the world for forty years selling oilfield pipe and tubing, making friends (and, perhaps a few enemies), but never gave up his love of storytelling. The Road is the first in an upcoming collection of adventures set on a ten-thousand-acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country.
