by
Ralph Thompson Jr.
Genre:
Christian Suspense
Rick
Bass is a junior at a southern commuter college. When he meets
Elenore he is immediately attracted to her reserved yet captivating
ways. When Rick finds himself in a dangerous situation far beyond his
ability to cope, he uses drastic measures that change the direction
of his otherwise dull, uneventful life and may cause him the girl of
his dreams. Rick’s careless and thoughtless actions bring tragic
results, yet he still believes God endorsed his plan. From the writer
of “None of Our Hands Are Clean,” Ralph Thompson, Jr. tells a
story of a young man who knows of God but is unsure about God’s
direction in his life when things get out of hand. Is God truly the
orchestrator when one choice leads to a life time of consequences?
“Dude!
You don’t have to do this. I’ve done nothing to you!” The
smaller man shrieked. Any pretense of manliness dissipated. The
smaller man knew he was overmatched. He was trying to minimize an
absolute beatdown. This type of ruckus meant only one thing: Smash
was out and about, looking for his version of fun. That usually
included inflicting pain on random folk. Smash felt rested and
satisfied, like predators do from time to time. Feeling good meant
getting out and looking for folk to intimidate. Lowtown was like
that. The cops didn’t go in unless they absolutely had to. Most of
the city’s citizens figured if they could confine Lowtown’s
lawlessness to a small area, eventually the folk inside would kill
off one another until the area could be renovated (leveled &
gentrified) with little opposition. Folk like Smash made the
transition go slower than the city fathers would like. Smash
suspected it, even without much formal education. Smash had an
innate sense of his hard-fought place in this neighborhood. As long
as the police gave the area a wide berth, he could do almost whatever
he wanted. The locals were so afraid of him, they wouldn’t even
band together to take him on en masse. Smash knew all of that."
Ralph
Thompson, Jr. was born and reared in Memphis, Tennessee. During his
childhood, he saw up close the impact of the civil rights movement.
These world-changing events permanently informed his perspective and
his writing.
Later,
a search for further meaning in his life led to his joining the U.S.
Air Force, where he served 26 years. He’s a veteran of operations
like Just Cause, DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM, Southern Watch, and
Enduring Freedom.
Thompson
has a daughter/son-in-law, a son, and a granddaughter who all live
out west. He serves in his church, the Memphis community, and with
his fraternity (Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.).
What I’m passionate about today
I’m concerned about the state of the
world, this country, my hometown. I endeavor to mentor young males,
serve with voter education groups, and am a part-time member of the
security team at church. I truly believe in my heart that we can live
in some semblance of harmony on this planet. We have so much more in
common than we have as differences. One of my goals as a novelist is
to point out what we have in common, that we may collaborate on the
state of this world.
