Page Thirteen - The Book The idea of the Arabian Knights winning a state football title could soon become a reality, at least in the world of literature. A novel by local author David A. Myers, just released by Lulu.com Publishing, has the Knights in the hunt for the state title, provided a core group of star players can survive face-to-face confrontations with some of the worst villains society has to offer.Myers’s novel, Page Thirteen – The Book, is available from Lulu.com in print, and Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com as an eBook. The story centers on quarterback Jimmy Mason, a highly touted senior leading a strong Arabian Knights squad. Jimmy and a close-knit group of players find themselves in the position of having to balance a championship run with a decision to intervene in the fate of a close friend. They quickly discover that there’s a rough world beyond the city limits and it’s imposing itself on the peaceful and serene community of Arab. Page Thirteen - Chief The measure of a man's life is determined at the end of his road. This novel is a snapshot out of the days, and a glimpse into the heart of Eddie "Chief" Parfait, a man familiar with life on the edge. Chief's story started in old Jefferson, a rough area between the Mississippi River and the railroad yard. He finally found his peace on Snider's Bayou, where his road eventually ran full circle.
“I’ve come to really enjoy writing fiction. I like to think that I can take places I’ve been and love and make them part of the literary record. In the case of - The Book, good ole Arab and Guntersville show up big, along with my old neighborhood in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and New Orleans. In my next one, which I’m close to finishing, the focus shifts to the bayou of south Louisiana. That’ll be a good one.” - Myers The print version of Page Thirteen – The Book is produced by Lulu.com Publishing. An “author’s edition”, in trade format, is now available at the Lulu website.
