Country Goose and Killer

Sinister Short Fiction

By: Kelly A. Jacob

COUNTRY GOOSE AND KILLER is a short-fiction anthology spanning two decades in the work of Kelly A. Jacob. The stories deal primarily with themes of betrayal, revenge, and the psychological horror of severe dissociation from reality. Jacob's stories combine dark humor, keen insight into the workings of the human mind, a capacity for unbridled imagination, and a sense of childlike wonder as might be felt by Damien in "The Omen.

Little Green Elvis

And Other Stories

By: Kelly A. Jacob

LITTLE GREEN ELVIS culls oddities, rarities, and off-kilter musings from the hitherto unpublished oeuvre of Kelly Jacob. In a collection spanning over two decades, ELVIS treats readers to crystalline shards of razor-sharp Jacob wit and wrath. Written without the faintest appeal to commercialism and presented without the slightest compromise, the eccentric and wholly individual stories and prose fragments which comprise LITLE GREEN ELVIS are hit-and-run, shock-and-awe blasts of brilliance providing insight into the workings of Jacob's keen artistic sensibility.

Condo - Conda

More Morbid Musings

By: Kelly A. Jacob

CONDO-CONDA is Kelly Jacob's latest assault upon the pantheon of poetry. Fans of blithe flowers-and-birds verse are sure to be grievously disappointed by Jacob's black-humored quatrains, whose razor-edged syllables hack deep into the heart of Hallmark sentimentality. Jacob's words are laser-aimed poetic smart-bombs capable of destroying legions of Ann Morrow Lindberghs with a single quatrain, loaded with more wit than a full season of sitcom programming and enough honesty to choke a boxcar-load of small press magazine editors.

The Range Men

Pioneer Ranchers of Alberta

By: Leroy Victor Kelly

Journalist Leroy Victor Kelly's "The Range Men" chronicles the early days of ranching in southwestern Alberta, from the arrival of the first large herds in 1876 through to 1913. Kelly gathered material from the records of the North-West Mounted Police, William Pearce's government reports, "the Calgary Herald," "the Macleod Gazette" and other publications, and collected anecdotes from old-time stockmen such as George Lane and John Ware. A window into the period after the buffalo but before extensive settlement, "The Range Men" paints a vivid, engrossing and sometimes unflattering picture of colonial life and attitudes. Kelly's unvarnished account of the relentless march of 'progress, ' as settlements were built and big ranches like the Cochrane, the Medicine Hat and the Bar U were born, notes the impact of farming on the wild prairie ecology and documents treaty betrayals and efforts to reduce and 'subdue' First Nations through smallpox and rum. More than a story of cattle trades and the hard beginnings of the Alberta cowboy, "The Range Men" is an authentic and important slice of history.

The Wounded Breed

By: James S. Kelly

In 1890, the massacre of Wounded Knee devastates the Sioux Nation. One of the survivors of the onslaught, a sixteen-year-old named White Bird, watches as his parents and his intended are shot dead in front of him, and he vows retribution against the four soldiers responsible for the execution. Ten years later, in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley in California, the young man tracks the men down. As White Bird sets his plan for vengeance in motion and the first of the men is killed, some old prejudices surface in the community. Tommy Sanchez, the son of sitting Bull, and his wife, Sarah, soon find themselves dealing with discrimination and hatred aimed at themselves and at their children. Their neighbors fear a Sioux uprising. In order to stop the killings and keep his family safe, Tommy must take action and bring White Bird to justice. But safety for him and his family comes at a high price; their lives may never be the same again. In this novel, a survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre seeks revenge, while the son of Sitting Bull works to keep the peace between his people and their neighbors.

A Taste for Speed

The Biography of Will Braden: Canada's Top Raceboat Driver 1915-1958

By: John Joseph Kelly

Bill Braden was the nephew of Harry Greening, Canada's first great raceboat driver in the 1920s. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, he lived there for many years before moving to nearby Waterdown, Ontario, near the start of W.W. II. He always had 'a taste for speed', purchasing his first motorcycle, an Ariel, in England at age 19, and going on to motorbike across war-threatened Europe in 1935. For the rest of his life, he kept fast and fancy cars around his house and reveled in their ownership. During World War II, he volunteered for the Canadian Army and became a Major in the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps, and served in Canada, as well as in England and Northwest Europe from 1941-1945. For a decade after the war, he established himself as the top speedboat driver in Canada. He drove his own 'Ariel' boats in competitions both in Canada and the United States. His reputation was such that in 1951, when Colonel Gordon Thompson of London, Ontario, purchased 'Miss Canada IV' and renamed her 'Miss Supertest', he hired Bill Braden to drive the boat. This began a five year relationship with the Thompson family, which culminated in the 1956 Harmsworth Trophy challenge, where for the first time, a Canadian boat captured one heat off of the American boat, and where Bill Braden proved his courage while almost dying behind the wheel of his hydroplane. The story had a sad ending two summers later, when Will returned to boat racing, and was killed in a freak accident while competing for the Duke of York Trophy on Fairy Lake at Huntsville, Ontario. He left behind a widow and six young children, as well as a sterling legacy that has survived five plus decades of scrutiny.
