Another of my favorite independent authors is Robert (Bob) Ford. These are the books I have read by him along with review links. I am also including links to his Author Pages and Websites. I will update as I read more of his books.
Burner-5 ★
Synopsis:
IRIS It’s terrifying how quickly everything can be taken away from you. Iris learns this agonizing lesson in the blink of an eye. Her future dreams. Her past life. Everything gone in a storm of pain.But this pain is only the beginning.
AUDREY Audrey had the perfect life. Great husband, beautiful daughter, lots of money. Except her husbandisn’t the man she thought he was. Her dead husband’s burner phone was bad. The Polaroids were worse. But the secrets she uncovers next set her entire world on fire.
BURNER Two women’s lives intersect because of one man’s actions. The transformation is pristine,and beautiful, and filled with pain. Sometimes the scars are on the inside.
It was a good run while it lasted, but Eddie’s days as an Elvis impersonator are coming to a close.
Middle-aged and overweight, even his yearly gigs at county fairs start to dry up.
But Eddie’s priorities change when he fathers a very special kind of baby... sortof.
Struggling with the responsibility and fear of every new father, Eddie is forced to take action to provide for his child.
Even if those actions are illegal... even if he risks his life in the process.
A father’s love knows no bounds... even for a child like this.
An unlikely bond between Eddie and Squirt (a combination of something akin to a larva developing into a somewhat alien-human being with personality. A hungry little squiggler with an unusual, grotesque appetite but also an endearing demeanor.)
There are moments that will make you want to squirm, laugh out loud, and tug at your heart. – Karla Kay (What a wonderful surprise, thank you so much!!)
Only a writer of Tobert Ford’s caliber could pull this off and make it work so well. Even had a tear or two in my eyes by the end. Great book! — SJGomzi
This has got to be the most imaginative, disgusting, horrifying, LOL funny book I've read in ages. BUY IT!
READ IT! GIFT IT! —Mommacat
After reading this wonderful novella, you will not think of Elvis impersonators the same way again. Such a fun book with a wonderfully original premise. Highly recommended! — JoshReading
Big Stakes Jackie is a mountain of a man, organizing his crew for heists. He somehow knows things that make the scores go exactly the way they’re supposed to—from the deserts of Mexico, to the alleys of Philadelphia. But there’s something people don’t know about Jackie... a secret that is slowly but surely taking its toll on him... and everyone is about to find out.
SARA'S LAW #227: If you write the fairy tale in your head, sometimes that's exactly where it will remain. Life sure has its share of shit storms, doesn't it? Believe me, I know. But if you grab a good umbrella and brace yourself, you can weather damn near anything.My umbrella of choice-after I finally decided to pull up my big girl panties-was my friends, tequila, and some creative inspiration, though not necessarily in that order. So grab a drink and pull up a barstool. Come closer because there's a lot I want to tell you. Some lessons learned from the school of hard knocks and ways to hang onto hope.Some of it's bad and a lot of it's good. But I promise you this, love... one way or another, it all works out. Somehow... it always works out.
Inspired by classic tales such as The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, and the many works of E.B. White, The Crow and the Cardinal is a bedtime story of what friendship and sacrifice means, what it means to give of yourself, no matter the cost, and that we can triumph over anything that comes our way.
Robert Ford has written the novels Burner, The Compound, No Lipstick in Avalon, and Blood Roses, a horror-western. He also has a collection of his short fiction The God Beneath my Garden, a novella collection, Inner Demons, and the novella Larva Me Tender.
He collaborated, with John Boden, on the novellas Rattlesnake Kisses, Cattywampus, and Black Salve, in the Knucklebucket Thang series.
With author Matt Hayward, Robert co-wrote the novel A Penny for Your Thoughts.
