About this ebook
There's no cell phones or video games in 1955, and 5 cents will buy a Pepsi-Cola. It's back to the good old days when life was good. Or was it? Coming of age for a teen boy is an adventure in its own right, but for young Jamey Hart, it's much, much, more. He is declared lively by his mother, and his adventures prove it, often placing his very life in danger, needing the help of angels. It's a wet blanket on his social life, as he moves from town to town for his dad to follow construction work. When there is no work, his family is forced into his grandmothers vacant farm house. Things really turn sour when his dad deserts the family. Jamey is accustomed to being poor, but now it has a brand new meaning, and when his mother finds a new mate, he gets a close up look at revenge. He finds a friend and mentor in retired missionary, Miss Lucy Barnes, but unfortunately she dies unexpectedly. He finds romance, but it's only temporary, because he just doesn't understand girls. He's certain he really is Runnin' On Empty. Set in the rural south of 1955. Origin of The Jamey Hart Ghost Adventure Series.

I was born in Charleston, South Carolina and raised in the surrounding moss covered Low-country . Now retired with my wife, Laura, I like to travel, spend time with children and grandchildren, and try to write an occasional novel. I write in a simple style, maybe even homespun, and with a bit of coziness, not prone to blood and gore. I believe the main purpose of a good novel is enjoyment and entertainment. And if it promotes a comfort food feeling as well, then I am happy. Such is the Jamey Hart Adventure Series. Hope you enjoy!
