Recent release "ON THE PATH WITH PRESTON SHANK; A Great American Novelette" from Covenant Books author Garland B. Johnson is an exciting tale of a man whose beloved routine is derailed, sparking existential questions. As he journeys through these chaotic two days, he finds meaning in life's adverse nuances. The book also features the bonus short story "SHUT UP AND PICK COTTON".

"Black Man, Put Down Your Gun, Pull Up Your Pants, Do It for Your Mama!" from author Garland B. Johnson is a tough-love commentary that dissects the lifestyle of the gun-slinging, baggy-trousered African American hoodlums, who, the author realizes (as a former one himself), are often wreaking havoc out of fear or indifference, and need a shaking awake for the sake of the nation and their mothers.
