Jerry Hodge has two passions in life: baseball and pharmacy. It didn’t take long before he realized he wasn’t going to have a career as Major League Baseball player, so he focused his efforts on pharmacy by working in local drug stores in high school and college. After graduating college and becoming a pharmacist in 1965, Jerry cobbled together $20,000 in loans to purchase Maxor, an Amarillo, Texas, drug store and become a business owner at the age of 23. But soon after he made the deal, he lost 95 percent of his prescription business when three local physicians either died, retired or moved their office. At the same time, he and his wife were expecting their first child and he was summoned to appear before the draft board for possible deployment to Vietnam. Let Me Tell Ya chronicles how Hodge recovered from business and personal setbacks to become a successful business and family man who turned Maxor into a multi-million dollar national business. Jerry also chronicles how he dealt with personal challenges including two divorces, a diagnosis of terminal cancer and the death of a grandson. He may be the only person to go toe-to-toe with Oprah Winfrey and Boone Pickens ... and survive. Let Me Tell Ya shares the life and business lessons Jerry’s learned along the way in what has been an incredible life.

A street-smart tale about a displaced teen who learns to defend what's right-the Cowboy Way. When Cole’s mom dumps him in the mean streets of Philadelphia to live with the dad he’s never met, the last thing Cole expects to see is a horse, let alone a stable full of them. He may not know much about cowboys, but what he knows for sure is that cowboys aren’t black, and they don’t live in the inner city. But in his dad’s ’hood, horses are a way of life, and soon Cole’s days of skipping school and getting in trouble in Detroit have been replaced by shoveling muck and trying not to get stomped on. At first, all Cole can think about is how to ditch these ghetto cowboys and get home. But when the City threatens to shut down the stables-- and take away the horse Cole has come to think of as his own-- he knows that it’s time to step up and fight back. Inspired by the little-known urban riders of Philly and Brooklyn, this compelling tale of latter -day cowboy justice champions a world where your friends always have your back, especially when the chips are down.

Welcome to Creedence, Colorado—where the gossip flows, the chicken is fried, and the cowboys are hotter than a Colorado chili pepper. I play to win... Raised as a tried-and-true cowboy in a town obsessed with hockey, I've always been competitive, whether on a horse or on the ice. I thought my cowboy days were over when the NHL snapped me up, but now injuries have me heading home with a bruised ego to match the damage to my body. One problem—when I joined the NHL, I left my high school sweetheart behind with a broken heart and not much else. Now, when I finally "cowboy up" and go to ask for a second chance, I'm shocked as hell to find her with a baby and no man around. She thinks she can forget about what we had together, but I'm bound and determined to get her caught up in us once again.

This ol’ boy needs a bath! After he finds a tumbleweed in his chaps and the numerous bugs buzzing around him affect his hearing, the cowboy decides it’s time to head to the river. Once there, he peels off all his clothes and tells his trusty old dog to guard them against strangers. He takes a refreshing bath and emerges clean as corn – but so fresh-smelling that his dog doesn’t recognize him! Negotiations over the return of the clothes prove fruitless. A wrestling match ensues in a tale that grows taller by the sentence, climaxing in a fabric-speckled dust devil. Amy Timberlake has inserted a Western twang into this tale of filth and friendship, and Adam Rex has found many creative means of bodily concealment in his expressive, comical paintings.
