Confederate Nation: Special Appearance by Elvis Presley

Product Description Buy this book! What, you expected sterling praise from famous writers? Sorry, I can’t provide that because I am forced to publish Confederate Nation myself. Besides, I suspect that many of those testimonials are just favors from friends who may not have even read the book. And you never see a bad one, right?Let’s face it, the so-called mainstream publishing industry has become constipated and reluctant to do much more than recycle the gorp of mediocre but established writers. It is mostly unwilling to take a chance and discover new and exciting writers.So, I am taking matters in my own hands and getting Confederate Nation in front of readers. Life is too short to wait for a break. I’m going to try and make it happen now.Is this a great book? Probably not. There are very few great books published any more. But is it entertaining? Yes. Does it tell an odd story? Certainly. And I have always thought it should be a movie, too. With proper padding and makeup, Kurt Russell could again be Elvis.—Michael Loyd Gray About the Author Michael Loyd Gray is the winner of the 2005 Alligator Juniper Fiction Prize and is the winner of the 2005 The Writers Place Fiction Award.
