Hotshot Has a Valentine" is a lilting tale of a school-age boy and an elderly lion. Both fear they have lost their chance for a valentine, but when they find the wisdom and strength to put their pride aside, they discover that they were very much mistaken. "Hotshot has a Valentine" is a heartwarming and vividly illustrated story about courage and honesty for children. Gary grew up in the Fifth Ward, Houston, Texas. He served four years in the United States Marine Corps, where he was deployed to the Persian Gulf War and Operation Restore Hope in Mogadishu, Somalia. He has received numerous awards while serving his country, including the Navy Achievement Medal, Kuwait Liberation Medal, and a Combat Action Ribbon. During his enlistment, he completed his bachelor's degree in business from Chapman University in San Bernardino, California. He is a martial arts enthusiast and certified scuba diver.
HOW MICE BECOME MEN is a disturbingly witty memoir that is authentic and brave. Raised by a single mother in the infamous Wards of Houston, Gary Braxton pulls no punches about the sometimes blissful and quite often volatile relationships with the women in his life. It's by trial and error he learns to be a man and by doing so we are allowed a rare view of the male mind as it matures from boy to man. A feat only achieved by exceptional writing. He discovers that marriage is not forever, sex isn't sacred, fathers don't know best, mothers are hardly virtuous and being a man has less to do with age and has everything to do with his state of mind. Trish wrote, This is one of the best stories I've ever read. The author really gives you his story from his heart and soul. SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE THIS A MOVIE! Amazon.com
