By the Light of The Foxfire

by Emory Rhea Raxter

Prepare to add Rally Cecile Fox to the list of most memorable villains in literature! Fox will join the likes of Bill Sikes, Annie Wilkes, Nurse Ratched and even Hannibal Lecter. It is 1960. Idealistic college graduate Tabatha Dearstone has been assigned to the mountain community of River Gorge in her new career as a welfare worker. Rescued from her plunge into icy Turkey Neck Creek by handsome young mountain man Rally Fox, she will disappear into an unimaginable nightmare. Fox is the sadistic, murderous leader of a moonshine clan. He claims her and wants to force her into marriage. Held captive above Spill Mill, with no way to escape, Tabatha must learn mountain ways and fight psychological battles of wit and will, if she is to survive. Her one ally is an eight year old boy, Clyne Evans, whose life becomes more precious than her own.

The story and the writing are great, but the formatting of the Kindle edition is criminally bad! It jumps between left, right, center justified with no rhyme or reason, and often simply removes all spaces from an entire sentence. The editor/publisher should correct this and "do right" by a beginning author!

I am the publisher of this book, so naturally I think it should be a bestseller. It is one heck of a story.

I just want to mention the Kindle version has been redone. The previous reviewer was right. Let's just say the folks at amazon don't make the transition to mobile format all that easy. Sorry for any inconvenience.
