Royal Wade Kimes - Authentic Cowboy Country

The Author

Authentic Cowboy Country -- You can't get more authentic than Royal Wade Kimes'
storytelling. Royal Wade doesn't just write about authentic cowboy values...he lived
that life while growing up, when honesty, respect, hard work, and loyalty is what set
you apart from the rest. And, lucky for us, old habits die hard.

Eminent domain is the inherent power of the state to seize a citizen's private property,
expropriate property, or seize a citizen's rights in property with due monetary compen-
sation, but without the owner's consent. The property is taken either for government use
or by delegation to third parties who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases,
economic development (see Wikipedia). Kimes' first novel, Eminent Domain and Old
Man Smith, is the compelling story of the timely and emotionally powerful real-life taking of
personal property by various governmental jurisdictions. This talented singer/songwriter
creates a colorful piece of fiction that puts a harsh spotlight on a subject that is making
headlines all across the U.S., from the heartland to both coasts.

As an already-published author, Kimes has turned his considerable talents to the written word once again,
this time in the form of an audio-book released in January 2010. His novel, A Braver Man, has been
released by Books in Motion, a publishing firm out of Washington state. What better way to spend that time
commuting to and from work, or just working around your own little ranch, than by listening to Kimes'
innate and insightful storytelling.

RWK's audio book, A Braver Man, has gained quite a few fans across the country. Many have said they
dread putting the last disc in to listen to because they don't want it to end! Royal Wade told us his feelings
on the book: “The one thing I can say about this novel...I wrote it the way I've always wanted to read one.
It's a western with a story, a plot, a twist and a surprise. Hank Williams once said: You have to make 'em cry
and laugh to be good enough. This novel will make you cry and laugh. I enjoyed writing it and I hope you
enjoy listening to it." When the pell-mell pace of this incredible story comes to a stop on the final page,
your emotions will be spent – and you'll have a new vision of people and events that you see mirrored on
your TV's evening news.

And, when you finish your audio book of A Braver Man, get ready for an even wilder ride! RWK has two
more western novels on their way; one is already at the publisher's while the other is undergoing the editing
process and is poised for early-2011 release.
