Bullets in the Fire-The Biography of New York Red. A life event becomes a metaphor for the main character's life. A liberated young woman, New York Red (Erma Louise Hill, ) comes of age in depression era rural South Georgia. She fights off white rapists and escapes too Atlanta within an inch of her life. She fulfils her dreams for her children and herself in New York City by living a lifestyle that resides on the edge of the law. She becomes a celebrated Number Hustler, Number Banker and Mafia Associate. She unapologetically creates her own rules, lives by them and dies by them. But what brought about her premature death and downfall?

An exciting new historical novel. Every so often a long-lost manuscript from the dusty shelves of an obscure archive to challenge our entrenched views of former times, far-off places, exotic peoples. Such a lucky find by a pair of Bangkok-based expats forms the subject of this book, a work of historical fiction. Binding the tattered tapestry of fact with filaments of fiction, this book brings to life the dramatic events of a near forgotten place and time of battles, subterfuge, and broken alliances in a manner that rivals classic histories of the past.
