Over the years I have tried my hand at lots of different types of stories (to varying degrees of success). I am currently immersed in finishing up my own coming of age thriller featuring a group of kids who are promised an unlikely set of miracles by a mysterious stranger. Among the promises....Brady's mom will be healed of terminal cancer, Jimmy's dad will return to him and his mother after running out on them 10 years earlier, and Presley's brother, Marky, will be brought back from the dead after perishing in a car accident. The only catch...they must do everything the stranger asks of them with no exceptions even if it means casting aside their values, beliefs, and everything they know to be right. As the kids find out the stranger's true intentions for the town of Fairpointe, they are forced to examine the true nature of miracles, their own faith, and the lengths they would go to for the ones they love. Think Stand by Me meets Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Given my most recent foray into this type of book, I have been thinking about which books make my top five list for coming-of-age titles.
So here they are without further ado (in no particular order):
#1. Midnight Rain by James Newman
#2. Boy's Life by Robert McCammon
#3. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
#4. The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale
#5. Fear by Ronald Kelly
In the coming weeks, I will be discussing each of these, nailing down exactly what it is about each book that I enjoy so much, and what makes them work.
I have read your excellent post. This is a great job. I have enjoyed reading your post first time. I want to say thanks for this post. Thank you.

If you are looking to make some extra money, consider taking your junk cars to a removal service. There are companies out there that will come to your house, pick up your car, and give you cash in return. We recommend having the removal service visit your home in advance of the actual day of the pickup. We also recommend that you get a friend or neighbor to help you with driving the vehicle to the removal service, because the removal service may want to have a mechanic take a look at it first. Once the vehicle is at the removal service, we recommend calling the removal service to confirm that they are sending someone to inspect your vehicle before the actual date of pick-up.Cash For Cars Red Hill
