Overview

One afternoon Dayna Berkshire decided to practice her guitar at the mall -- then people started throwing money in her gig bag! An epiphany that changed her life struck her: "This beats hell out of work!" It takes a while to learn the tricks, but Dayna and her friend Sandy set out to explore the free-wheeling life of being street musicians, earning their money on street corners, in shows, at renaissance faires, or wherever they can, living the lives they choose to lead. But into each life some rain must fall, and it tests just how bad Dayna wants to lead the life she's chosen.

A reader wrote about Hat Trick: "It is a joy to read your stories; I think it's primarily because your style makes me CARE about the characters. The sex works as a part of the story line, moving things along, rather than simply as an end in itself. As it is with a good friend, I hate to see it end. It's been warm, friendly, educational, and just a blast."

Another reader wrote, "I have no idea where all the ideas come from, but you do tell amazing stories. I appreciate all of the character development and 'getting to know' the characters. I also appreciate that at least so far as I can recall, your stories all have a 'happy' ending. I much prefer them that way -- even though it isn't always true in the 'real' world."

About the Author

Wes Boyd describes himself as "a compulsive writer." The owner and editor of a country weekly newspaper in Michigan, Wes has been writing fiction for over thirty years, mostly for his own enjoyment, and now for yours.

Wes has several interrelated sets of stories to tell. Many of these books are located in the fictional town of Spearfish Lake, located somewhere in the western part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There are other locations in the books, some fictional and some not, and they're all over the country, from Florida to Alaska, from Maine to Hawaii, and from mountain top to canyon floor.

These are not true serials, but long, interrelated stories, some but not always with common characters, and each book still stands on its own. Over twenty books in the various series will soon be available for Kindle and other e-book readers, and more are on the way.

The typical novel published today primarily as an e-book averages around 80,000 words; the shortest of Boyd's books is more than that, and the longest is almost four times as long.

All of Boyd's stories share one common theme: they are tales about people who really could be real, in places that really could be real (and sometimes are), doing things that real people do. There are no superheroes, no fantastic fantasies, no paranormal powers. The characters are mostly people like you, and though a few are people with maybe above-average talents, nothing is beyond the realm of belief. Granted, some characters might be a little crazy (some would say more than a little), but there's very little in these stories that people do not actually do in the real world. There's very little sex in these stories, though some books have just a little more than others -- but there's lots of love and friendship. Very, very occasionally there's someone who needs a good whack upside the head, too.
