Football Fiction in the Heart of Dixie: The Legend’s Son, Published by Outskirts Press
Dallas, TX, July 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Legend's Son: ...And The Ultra-Competitive World Of Alabama Football by Willie Backer. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the action and adventure category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/thelegendsson was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Told in first person narrative by a social outsider, The Legend’s Son is no doubt the most riveting look at the attitudes and opinions of the Deep South since Gone With The Wind.
To Pat Murphy, a northerner, the Deep South was always as foreign and distant a place as some Third World nation on another continent. All he knew about the region was what he had read in history books, studying events like the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. And that’s all he wanted to know.
But when he unexpectedly finds himself in the Heart of Dixie, he suddenly has to learn all about its customs and traditions. He quickly realizes that in Alabama the cliche “Football is a way of life” isn’t a cliche at all. He is astounded to the point of being fascinated at just how incredibly stout the Alabama spirit and pride is.
He’s absolutely bewildered right from the start.
“Like the Martin Sheen character in Apocalypse Now, I was going deeper and deeper into a world I had no idea even existed,” he writes.
He proceeds to go on a rip-roaring adventure, encountering everything from colossal corruption right up to the state capital building and a staggering array of colorful characters.
Most notably... The Legend’s Son.
Deftly constructed at 323 pages, The Legend's Son: ...And The Ultra-Competitive World Of Alabama Football is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the action and adventure category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Legend's Son meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95.
Additionally, The Legend's Son can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks.
