A Man's Hungry Heart Jim Carson

Publisher Marketing: A Man's Hungry Heart is the sequel to master storyteller Jim Carson's powerful trilogy that takes place in the river town of Memphis, Tennessee overlooking the mighty Mississippi. After his debut novel, A Chasing After The Wind, Jim continues the story of Mack Shannon and his quest for power and recognition. He gambles all that he owns and can borrow to design and construct, a development consisting of the Trinity Towers: three, 33 story corporate towers, a world class shopping mall, and The Astor Hotel and Casino. This is the largest private endeavor in the history of Tennessee. Mack spends every waking hour fighting to insure its success, but two of his childhood nemesis, Crazy Ray and Dago, return and continue their revenge to destroy his empire. Mack, a patron of the arts, has offered his palatial home to celebrate the 125th birthday of The Beethoven Club. Among the guests is Chancellor McKenzie O'Connor, a woman who can finally match him in wit and ambition, and when introduced: "Mack turned at the call of his name and was so stunned by her natural beauty and magnetism that his heart skipped a beat. He was close, so close he could smell her minted breath. He stared for the longest time into her green eyes and for the first time he understood what the songwriter meant when he wrote, 'When Irish eyes are smiling, they steal your heart away.'" However, fantasy is not reality. The reality, of which he is unaware, is that she has signed a warrant for his arrest. Now, at the top of his game, he has narrowed his objectives to what is most important in his life: his legacy and his 10-year old daughter, Irish Shannon. Will Mack complete his life long dream of power and fame? Or will he have to risk more than just his fortune to save his young daughter?"" Contributor Bio:  Carson, Jim JIM CARSON, a former Marine, studied Theatre Arts at various California universities where he won numerous awards in acting, directing and speech. His pursuit of a vocation that would satisfy his dreams led him to many occupations: firefighter, soybean farmer, director of Underwater Rescue, night school teacher, and the job that always paid the bills, a commercial general contractor. Ask him to tell you about the time he was flying to his house in Key West and walked away after totaling his V-tail Bonanza on takeoff from the Destin Airport or the time when he was hired as a sparring partner, unaware it was Davy Moore, the Featherweight Champion of the World-he was paid $10 a round. Jim was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. He has two adult children, one in Nashville, Tennessee and the other in Richmond, Virginia. He lives on 3 acres in a 1920 Italian Renaissance house with a small leak in the tile roof that nobody can find. The first book of his trilogy, "A Chasing After The Wind" and the sequel, "A Man's Hungry Heart" are available in hardcover, paperback and e-book at Amazon.com or his website: www.jamesacarson.com. The third book of his trilogy, "A Woman's Choice" is under construction and will be available for purchase in the spring of 2016. From the Author: "Out of millions of writers, only 2% make enough money to live on, so reviews are important and good ones fuel our egos which motivates us to write better books.
