West Texas native Don Ingram's latest book. Making Amends in Big Bend, is now available at the Andrews Office Supply or on-line at Amazon.com in either paperback or soon as an E-book. In Making Amends in Big Bend the author uses more of the West Texas landscape, love and traditions in portraying, Buster McGruder, an aging former Odessa High football star who is seeking to turn his life around after a a twenty-year span of bad luck. Buster can't seem to forget a dropped TD pass his senior year that started his life spiraling out-of-control with missed opportunities, failed marriages and relationships and a brief stint in prison. Fate, however, isn't done yet with Buster. While on a not-so-innocent road trip to Big Bend National Park he is confronted by a stranded mother and daughter in dire need of assistance. While for Buster the visit to Lajitas is strictly a business trip, his protective nature puts him squarely in the middle of dangerous scenario that ultimately plays out with deadly consequences while rafting down the Rio Grande River. Ingram, publisher of semi-weekly newspaper, the Andrews County News, uses the unique blend of the majestic Big Bend country and the Permian Basin as the backdrop for the novel, including the football passionate cities of Odessa and Midland, and especially the inter-city rivalry between OHS and Permian. It's Ingram's second novel after Crude Death, which he published in 2008.
Crude Death is now available at the Andrews Office Supply located at 208 East Broadway or you may visit publishamerica.com Crude Death is also available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com
