The Buffalo Kid

by Réal Laplaine

Overview

Inspired by real people, The Buffalo Kid is a window into the all-too-real life of John Ross, a 71-year-old man who has been homeless for 30 years and who the locals, in Buffalo, New York, call the Buffalo Kid. All but forgotten by family and friends, destitute but not hopeless, the Kid meets a stranger one day as he forages for handouts, one who changes his life. This is a story about undying hope and that everyone, given the opportunity, deserves a second chance at life.

About the Author

Inspired by Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions and The Bridge Across Forever, I discovered not only a passion to write, but also a channel, a means of helping to raise awareness in a world where people, trying to change things for the better, were being fought and silenced, where racism, greed and war were commonplace, and a society that was being dumbed down primarily through a system of "education", cultural propaganda and ideology - both political and religious.

I write high-concept thrillers and speculative fiction in geopolitical, crime, sometimes bordering on science fiction, and often times inspiring stories.

I love story-telling and especially, I enjoy weaving my stories with compelling and eye-opening perspectives about the world we live in and hopefully, inspiring my readers to see a better vision, a higher one and a world where the good guys win and actual peace and justice is possible.
