*****FREE***** for the next 5 days to commemorate Mosby's 180th BD starting tomorrow. SOMETHING GRAY is based on the true-life story of Colonel John Singleton Mosby, the legendary Gray Ghost of the Confederacy. A frail boy, and a magnet for bullies, Mosby is a loser. That is until Aaron Burton, family slave and friend, teaches him to ride, hunt, and most importantly, how to fight back. His philosophy changes Mosby's life, and his view on slavery. Although his Virginia family had always owned slaves, John's friendship with Absalom, Aaron's only son, puts Mosby at odds with his father…and the antebellum South. A true rebel among rebels, Mosby never wanted Virginia to leave the Union, but when secession arrived, along with his friend William's body, riddled by Yankee bullets, his decision came easy. No stranger to tyrants, the Confederacy's poor chances suited Mosby, but this war meant Aaron could lose much more. Mosby enlists, and takes Aaron and his philosophy to war. Ever faithful, Aaron serves Mosby in a fight that seems black and white, but by 1865 it is SOMETHING GRAY. Despite his victories, Mosby knows the South cannot win unless the odds change. His gutsy exploits behind enemy lines inspires a bold plan to end the war in one swift move, but can he pull it off before Lee's army is beaten? Originally written as a screenplay by Phillip T. Hopersberger, but now converted here into an e-book for those who asked to read the rest of this riveting Civil War saga (a sample was briefly available atwww.TotallyWriteousCopy.com), SOMETHING GRAY takes us back to our bitter national divorce and like our country, reveals a man both convinced and conflicted. ~Robert~

"Have read this. As a lover of history...I love it. As a screenwriter: I earnestly wish there were more like this. Tremendous script: if they don't make it it's a crime!! I read dozens of screenplays. I arbitrate credits. Yours is head and shoulders above."

--Michael Beckner (Spy Games, CBS' The Agency, and To Appomattox).

I hope so. :-)

Humbling when folks post reviews like this on Amazon yesterday: "Clearly this is a marvelous screen play. I would be honored to be able to see it as an actual motion picture. The characters were crystal clear as was the action. I enjoyed every minute of my reading and cried at the end which so unexpected. It was history I have never heard before, so I was educated. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us your readers."
