Bob Moody

During his lifetime (1842-1900) the Bloomington, Indiana, attorney and newspaper reporter known to his friends as "Dank" Spencer was a Civil War veteran; was convicted of killing a stranger in a bar fight over which of them spoke French better; was the subject of a major interview in the New York Herald concerning his abilities as a mind reader; was a correspondent for major national newspapers; wrote a widely circulated account of witnessing a man fall to his death from a hot air balloon; received national press attention for solving crimes and locating missing cash; was a reporter and court stenographer for major murder trials and served a prison term for attempting to shoot and kill his sister-in-law at his dying wife's bedside. Regardless, Spencer remained on friendly terms with many prominent politicians, judges, and newspapermen and was regarded in the Midwest as one of the most beloved and colorful characters of his time. This biography/anthology documents his life story for the first time.

Bitchen Chase, a sequel to Dirt Nap Chase, is a thought-provoking book that takes the reader on a personal journey to the inevitable - growing old. Baby boomer Chase Murdock goes through a life-changing time. A big part of his woes is a haunting inner battle for a dirt nap, but a second wind, good whiskey and luck is a satisfactory substitute for a nap. Chase Murdock (Bitchen Chase) is a guy you can't help but like, and Moody's skillful prose twists in and out of him, his desires and flaws and strengths, until he becomes one of your best friends. You want him to succeed, you want him to be happy, you want him to find love. Bitchen Chase is a story, and a damn good one, about one of the coolest characters you'll ever meet, and about the inextinguishable power of family, friendship and loyalty.Foster Kinn, authorFreedom's Rush, Freedom's Rush 2, The Poet, the Professor, and the Redneck and The TruthAuthor Bob Moody has captured the trials and tribulations that many baby boomers are facing today.
