Buford's Tree, the 7th book in the Prairie
Winds Golf Course series is currently under construction. A middle-aged high
school football coach is stricken with a deadly form of cancer. The regulars at
the golf course rally around one of their own. Charity, hope, and a tearful
reunion deliver a lot of nostalgia to a sobering situation.
This is a difficult book for me to create. Writer’s block
has firmly entrenched itself into this project. First, it was my desire to get
more involved in the marketing of my books. One promotional month has become
eighteen. My mind got sidetracked.
Secondly, this topic hits close to home. Not only am I a
cancer survivor, but I have lost a very dear friend – perhaps my best buddy -
to the disease. My goal was to write a story that was a tribute to him. However
I am finding that no wording is going to replace his loss or honor his
friendship. Even though the story will be fictionalized tackling the topic
rekindles memories that are personal.
One of these days
when my mind allows I will go like gangbusters to get this story on paper. I'll apologize to my readers for not getting a book out this year. In
the meantime visit authorjamesross.com and try some of my latest efforts.
James Ross has penned several novels from the Prairie Winds Golf
Course setting. The stories are character-based, cross many genres, and have
become Kindle favorites. Visit his website for detailed information, reader comments, and
