IRVING, Texas - Jan. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- A-Argus Publishers has acquired both of Wally Avett’s two historical, southern fictions Coosa Flyer and Rebel Bushwacker!

Authentically drawn from the sparse written accounts and oral history of the Southern Smokies where Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina meet, these stories hold your undivided attention from the first sentence to the last word.

   Coosa Flyer is based on the true story of a backwoods genius everyone called the Professor who lived in the isolation of the Southern Appalachians. He built and flew a homemade aircraft in Union County, just south of Blairsville, Georgia, twenty years before the Wright Brothers. Backwoods Georgia Genius Built, Flew Mystery Aircraft (http://www.loiaconoliteraryagency.com/authors/wally-avett/backwoods-georgia-genius-built-flew-mystery-aircraft)

The story starts out with a pair of wandering Cherokees who journey down into the North Georgia Mountains from their home in nearby Western North Carolina.  They find a rich vein of gold and leave a puzzling map.

What the two ill-fated Native Americans started was a series of events culminating in family preservation through murder, true romance, a young man’s extraordinary intelligence producing the first aircraft and, in the end—almost a hundred years later—their gold will surface again.

Rebel Bushwacker is based on true local incidents during the War Between the States. It takes place in the rugged Southern Appalachians where a classic “civil war” raged between Rebel partisans and Union loyalists.

Hattie June Rose finds herself in desperate times as she loses her innocence and her baby along the way, and is forced at a tender age to bury both her father and her brother. She trades sex and her native intelligence to the most notorious bushwhacker of them all, the “red-headed butcher,” Big Tobe Kirkwood, for his help in tracking down the Yankees who killed her father. Together, with his gang of Rebel Bushwackers, they wreak havoc on Yankees and their supporters…until the day she decides to stop Tobe for good.

Wally Avett is a semi-retired realtor in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.  He lives in the same little town, sometimes compared to Mayberry, where he was editor and chief writer all though the 70’s for the weekly newspaper. His first two novels Caney Fork (2013) and Last Bigfoot in Dixie (2014) are published by BelleBooks.
