    Cottonwood AZ (October 23, 2013) – Family history and the inscription on an ancestor’s headstone inspired longtime Arizona resident, Joy Pennock Gage, to write her eighteenth book, The Patriot and the Plough. She is a descendant of the Pennock family of Vermont, some of whom fought in the Revolutionary War. Her latest historical novel will be released Nov. 6 by Rook Publishing and will be available through Amazon or directly from the publishers at sales@rookpublishing.com.

    20131023_bookcoverThe book spans the time period from 1775 through 1781 and captures the struggles of a Loyalist town that eventually supports the Patriot cause. Gage, who also teaches and mentors writers internationally, said, “All good stories involve conflict. The Patriot and the Plough is set against the backdrop of the struggles for our nation’s independence from England. On a very rainy day, I visited the old Strafford, Vermont cemetery to see an ancestor’s headstone on which was engraved, ‘Let it be remembered that this family was the first that broke the soil in this town, 1768.’”

    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
