About this title

Synopsis

Solomon Foxly isn’t a cuddly kind of fox. He’s a feral carnivore, intent on taking down anything he can catch and kill. There is, however, a nobility to the little fox. He doesn’t just hunt for himself but for his family. His mate, the missus, and his pups, Noah and Eli, depend on him for their survival. For them, Solomon is willing to risk the ire of Barkley, the old hound who guards the chicken coop on the Harrison property. The dog chases Solomon all over the countryside of beautiful, rural Johnston County but is too old and fat to ever catch him.

The Foxly family has other neighbors to worry about. A mother bear and her two cubs live a little too close for Solomon’s comfort.

At the same time, the human inhabitants of Johnston County are dealing with problems of their own. Sheriff Tom Penegar patrols his domain with the beautiful Deputy Sheriff Courtney Kruger. The three Folsom brothers, a Boy Scout troop, and a mysterious young woman all call the county home. When a natural disaster threatens their way of life, secrets will be revealed and loyalties tested in both the human and animal kingdoms.

About the Author

    Billy Haake was born in 1945 in Charlotte, North Carolina. His generation grew up alongside the other new-borns of post-WWII America:  the atomic age, television, and Rock 'N Roll.
    He attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the early sixties and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1966. He served thirteen months with the III MAF Headquarters in Danang, South Vietnam. 
    Billy has been sporadically writing essays, fiction, short stories and published magazine articles for most of his life. His short screenplay "Sugar Creek Prelude" was produced as a video and won the Charlotte Film Community's "Inspire Charlotte" contest in 2012. It can be seen on vimeo.com/billyhaake along with several other videos he has written and produced. "You Are The Way, Jesus" is a music video he shot and co-produced with Oscar Oling and is also available on Billy's Vimeo page.
    "Solomon Foxly" is his first book. Like many authors, he started it many years ago, but only recently went back to the unfinished manuscript and completed the work. He credits his son, Dana, with the encouragement and gentle chiding it took to see the book to completion.
Createspace was instrumental in editing and helping him polish the story.
    He is currently finishing his first full-length screenplay and has already begun a sequel to "Solomon Foxly".
    Billy is a cancer survivor, lives in Waxhaw, North Carolina, and can be contacted through Facebook.
