Run Wild Like a Mustang

This story, Run Wild like a Mustang, is fiction, inspired by many of my memories growing up.It is the story of Lone Mountain, a small rural Nevada town, that wakes up every morning to the crowing of Cooper the Rooster. It is a town where everybody knows everybody else's business and is run by a ruthless bully, who owns the largest mine, and the employees were most of the people who live there. It is a town that struggles to survive after being bypassed by the interstate.It is a town whose pride and joy is their high school basketball team, the Mustangs, who are in search of a state basketball championship, and when suddenly the town's first murder takes place, that tragically changes everything.Welcome and have a seat at the table where Andy Peppers, the narrator of this book, guides us through the story. Andy can also be a character in the story and be able to maneuver in and out, communicate with us in real time, while we run wild like a mustang on the basketball court, in the courtroom, at Willie's Tavern, Dolly's Diner, Johnny's Barbershop, and at the bottom of Lone Mountain where lovers park. It's here where we try to overcome living under a dark shadow of the prejudices and political intercourse of a divided community, to solve the mystery of who is responsible for the death of one of their most cherished leaders.
