Tom Livengood: An L.L. Layman Western [Paperback]

L.L. Layman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 2003

I'd no intention of confrontation, but with at least twelve savages ahead of me caution was needed. In the brush well back from the ford I took a position that gave vantage to the crossing. I saw no one but waited, listening. I heard no birds and took alarm at this. I waited longer, just watching and listening.To my left there was suddenly a crashing through the brush. I turned to see both Indian women captives, still naked, running right at me then right past me. That they saw me I was sure. I could have reached out and touched either of them. As they passed my eyes followed them, but another crash through the brush brought me back around to the direction they came from just in time to see one of their Iroquois captors running after them, right at me. He was not ten feet from me at a dead run and he saw me. His stone ax he lifted and such a scream I've never heard. I stood up, my walking spear in my right hand. The point of the spear I raised up, the rear I braced with my foot

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading Tom Livengood, Knowing L.L. Layman, December 4, 2003

I live in Peoria,Il.And know L.L.Layman,alias Larry Layman,Police Officer. I had an encounter with Officer Layman once. At my place of work. He made me move my car out of a handicapped parking space. I argued that the space was not posted. I moved the car. Later I helped my husband with the covers of the L.L.Layman Westerns.
I discovered a sensitive,romantic and caring male under the swaggering uniform. Discovering this sensitive Officer Layman,I felt much, much safer.
Buy his book. If you like it,Just wait until you read Paxton McAllister, Tyler James and Jessie Buxton. You can almost taste the roasted wild meat and smell the camp fire coffee.Happy endings we need. Happy endings and Heros.
Yea! L.L.Layman plays in Peoria.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tom Livengood - A fast paced transport back in time, March 12, 2008

This review is from: Tom Livengood: An L.L. Layman Western (Paperback)

I purchased this book because I worked on the same police dept with Larry and I knew him to be a good police off. I had no idea that he was such a talented writer. I could not put the book down. It is a very fast paced story that transports you back in time with the main character. You live the story with Tom Livengood. This is a book that I would recommend to all ages. It makes you want to read more about Tom and I think it is great material for a movie or television series.
