Trac Brothers - Paperback

by Randy D. Pearson (Author)

Jam and Jax Trachsel receive an unexpected inheritance from their recently departed uncle Mac- a fully-functioning Kalamazoo brand handcar from the 19th century. When they become stranded over 150 miles from home, do they set it on the train tracks and pump it all the way back? Or, when they find a hand-drawn map their uncle created, do they follow it even further north to the long lost town of Walton Junction? What starts out as a thrilling, modern day adventure quickly becomes a battle for survival. Their journey through Michigan's scenic Lower Peninsula will introduce them to a world they never imagined, forever changing many lives. Can they trust the Rail Riders, the bizarre but friendly group of people living off the grid? Or will the Track Pirates, a ruthless gang led by the insane Santascoy, cause their demise?

Author Biography

Randy D Pearson has been displaying his creativity for as long as he can remember. Starting at an early age drawing comic strips and cartoon books, he quickly realized he enjoyed writing stories more than he did sketching. - When he discovered his other childhood passion, the Atari computer, everything came together. He spent many late nights typing stories, winning several writing contests in the process. His writing kicked into high gear in 2007 when he became a member of Writing at the Ledges. This Grand Ledge, Michigan based writing group helped him to turn his interesting ideas into well-crafted works of fiction. Since then, Randy's writing has been featured in several publications, including the Washington Square Review, Pets Across America: Volume 3, Small Towns: A Map in Words, Seasons of Life, Voices from the Ledges, Fiction 440: Volume 1, and Retrocade Magazine. His debut novel, Driving Crazy, was self-published in 2010 before being picked up for national publication in 2015. The humorous road trip story received rave reviews, both locally and internationally. It has even caught the attention of a Michigan-based movie production studio for transition into a full-length feature film. In 2016, Blue Deco Publishing released his second book, Tell Me a Story. Lansing State Journal's Ray Walsh called it, "a highly entertaining collection of wonderfully quirky short stories."
