Today I have the honor of hosting Harry Gilleland! Harry Gilleland is an author of five books to date — three collections of his poetry, a fantasy action/adventure novella, and a contemporary romance novel. Harry is a retired microbiology professor who lives in Shreveport, Louisiana with his wonderful wife, Linda. Old and fat, Harry tries to enjoy life to its fullest.
Harry’s latest poetry book is entitled Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man.
This collection of storoems (story-poems) and poems offers hours of enjoyment as it makes the reader think, feel, and ponder life. The next poem may make the reader laugh or perhaps will bring a tear to the eye. The various subjects addressed will both surprise and delight. This is a collection both to own and to give as a gift, as it will surely be read and re-read. It continues in the footsteps of Harry Gilleland’s previous two published poetry collections.

Harry Gilleland’s contemporary romance novel is entitled White Lightning Road.
This is a story of romance set in rural northern Louisiana. It follows the lives of two best friends, Jennifer James and Sally Jeffers. Each was an urban teenager whose family moved to White Lightning Road, a country road running between Vienna in Lincoln Parish and Homer in Claiborne Parish, where they became friends. Upon graduation from high school, each escaped back to the big-city life they love. Now a family tragedy has brought Jennifer back to White Lightning Road. Soon she is embroiled in a mystery involving her neighbor Michael Garrott, a man widely believed to be an unpunished murderer. Thus begin the romantic adventures of both Jenny and Sally. It is a tale of mystery and romance.
White Lightning Road is also available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/White-Lightning-Road-Harry-Gilleland/dp/1411686934/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c
Harry’s delightful novella is entitled Bob the Dragon Slayer and is suitable for readers from teenage to ninety.
Bob, a mere peasant lad, sets off to see a dragon that is terrorizing a village and soon falls in with a wizard named Stephen. Thereafter, his life is filled with adventures that involve dragons, knights, damsels in distress, castles, a fair lady, friendship, true love, an evil king, civil war, and lawyers. This rollicking tale belongs not to history but to legend. Written with wit and humor, this novella will delight readers from teenagers to octogenarians.
