Published in 2012, The Ghost Towns of 174 identifies four generations of the Davis family. It explores six communities along a lazy 11- mile stretch of road in Northeast Kentucky that once thrived but are now just a shadow of their past. Ghost Towns also explores time, historical cycles, and Kentucky’s great out-migration in the 40s and 50s. See contents. See some Davis/Hall family pictures in the book. Buy from Amazon.
Published in 2016, Beyond Start Up Lane is written for start-up entrepreneurs. A marketing crash-course framed to close the gap between what start-ups know and what they need to beg, borrow, or buy before scaling their business. Beyond Start-Up Lane asks 100 marketing questions to trigger a start-up’s thinking and test their marketing smarts. See the 100 questions. Buy from Amazon.
Published in 2016, Furniture Phraseology is a collection of 842 advertising home furnishings phrases Willie used in his 19 years writing print and electronic copy for furniture retailers.

Again, not available anywhere…
