“Coming of Rage” short stories by Ray Van Horn, Jr.
Raw Earth Ink is proud to present Ray Van Horn, Jr.’s new book, Coming of Rage.
“Coming of Rage and six other short stories reflect the human spirit and learning how to rise up and meet adversity. To stand face-to-face with it, then overcome. These are tales of young and old, tragic and strong, broken but still standing. When a young man realizes all isn’t as he imagined it would be. When a woman relives her painful past and chooses to walk through the coals for the freedom on the other side. And when skin color becomes more than just skin-deep. These are the moments that shape us. The moments we make a decision to continue along our path of destruction or to rise above and allow wisdom to mold our minds into something new.”
A common thread of hard turning points and difficult decisions rendered weave throughout each tale as author Ray Van Horn, Jr. draws on his many years experience in the music industry where he rubbed elbows with drummers, vocalists, bands, groupies, managers, roadies, and die-hard fans.
In paperback at: lulu, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or signed copies directly from the author.
As an eBook at: EPUB ebook, Nook, Kobo, Kindle.
