About this ebook
Crime in Lockhorn City has brought the city to its knees. The police force are doing all they can but the horrible crimes in the city keep escalating out of control. Mayor Beckham has pleaded for help from its citizens and a small group of young men have decided to take matters into their own hands. With the creation of "Marbleman", the city begins to see new life. Gage and his buddies are unknown hero's, but then their identity must be held confidential.

Larry, my husband, and I reside in Mount Airy, North Carolina. I have one son. My two sisters are the best friends anyone could ever have. They are my best allies and encouragement supporters. They are my most precious jewels.Due to the Covid issues, I am not presently working at Floyd's Barber Shop in downtown Mount Airy, best known as Mayberry, NC. Known from the Andy Griffith Show that ran from 1960 through 1968 and the hometown of Andy Griffith. We get thousands of people annually in the small, quaint town and we love our visitors, whether just looking or getting an actual haircut. We would love for you to visit us. As far as working, we'll see how long this virus takes hold.I love doing many things: writing, reading, drawing, sewing, jewelry making, barbering, woods, photography, making soaps, creams, butters and more. I never find myself bored and life is a story regardless if it is verbal or in type.I am a Cancer survivor and thanks to Jesus for His supporting hand during a difficult period. Thanks to my husband for standing firm beside me through the ordeal. We turned my cancer into a positive situation and kept an upbeat attitude. Cancer affects an entire family, not just the victim. For those out there with cancer or those who have been through it, cancer is not the end and you're never alone.You never know what touches others. This could go either way; good or bad. But through writing you are able to express and hopefully bring a little entertainment to others. It only takes a word to make a person smile and you never know when a word could pick someone up who is down. We do not have to be authors in its truest form of the title, but do what you enjoy and if it is writing, then enjoy when you do it. Thank you Smashwords for giving thousands of people the opportunity to voice their thoughts through self publishing. It's fun and easy to do. The hardest part is self editing. Locating errors can and will be your hardest part in self-publishing your books. Don't let that stop you! If you have stories that you placed high on that top shelf years ago, it is time to get them down and march forward. Never allow anyone to tell you that you can't. We may never be known other than to ourselves, but do it for yourself and because of your love for writing.Thanks to all of you that have downloaded samples or purchased downloads of my books. You are appreciated. If you have any encouraging words or simply want to point out (my text errors - because they are extremely hard to find yourself), please feel free to contact hurn5262@yahoo.com. Please leave a response in Subject line regarding the story or it will not be opened. Be blessed, Jesus loves each of you very much. Take care!

Marbleman!
Lockhorn City was run by crooks, bandits, outlaws, druglords and much more.
Despite everything that Mayor Beckham tried, the lawlessness could not be stopped. The city was totally out of control and it all happened after dark and now was spilling over into the daytime.
Fear consumed the people. They were terrified of sending their children to school or letting them outside under any circumstance. Because of this, the Mayor had to make a security decision to close the city down in the late evening. The nightly curfew was 8:45 p.m. Anyone caught on the streets after that time could not be sheltered by the city police department. They had lost control and the city’s jail had already been placed in an over crowded situation.
Gage was cemented to the television during the local evening news because he wanted to know, see and hear what the news media had to report. Mayor Beckham at times seemed to have tears in his eyes as he talked about some of the offences and harsh crimes that were being played out on the citizens of Lockhorn. This was an every day occurance and nothing was working.
Being totally agitated and restless with what he was hearing the news media report daily, Gage had a hard time digesting some of the news he heard. However, he did enjoy how Mayor Beckham kept his levelheadedness on a day to day basis during his daily television address to the city of Lockhorn.
Everyone knew how the Mayor was affected, but knew also, that if the Mayor lost control, the people would sense this immediately and then where would their hope be? The city would turn to complete chaos.
The interviews taken from the city’s residents told Gage that serious woe would quickly come upon the people if a change did not happen soon. People of the city were exhausted, confused and weakened by their grave anxieties and fright. Their circumstances
