Cory Pederson unbuttoned a worn leather scabbard and gently lifted out his only prized possession. Ol' IKE (short for IKEA) was an early 1900s model...
Prologue Do you remember the nineteen forties Mills Brothers hit, “You Always Hurt The One You Love?” It’s a favorite of mine because the lyrics have special meaning to me.

Terry and Jo, a female friend he met three weeks before, sat in the Hogs Breath Saloon watching the tourists. He was more or less looking for his next pussy and she was making fun of the sluts and dumb cocks as she called the young and not so young drinking and trying to hook up.

Being the youngest, Tommy got hand-me-down clothes and toys. He was constantly teased by his three older siblings. But Tommy and his family got along well despite...
The idea that every redneck is a racist is preposterous, if you ask me. My name is Dawn O'Shea and I'm a lifelong resident of Biloxi, a small town in the heart of Mississippi. I was born on November 9, 1967, to Thomas and Darlene O'Connor. My father worked for the U.S. Postal Service and my mom was a schoolteacher. I studied business at Jackson State Univers...

It was a chilly spring day, the sun had not poked through the clouds yet over Hardstorm Kentucky and Travis looked out the window of his home. He opened the window to let fresh air in. It had been another cold night, and he wanted to get the smell from the fire in the chimney from last night aired out. It was going to be a busy day. He had to go into town la...
