«Millard Filmore with Trident» by Curtis Martin

Who are you? And how did you get where you are?

Some people have very solid and inflexible philosophies guiding them through life. Others drift.   Millard Fillmore with Trident assembles several people, personalities, and philosophies of life in a small rural Ohio town where their lives collide and conflict. Bikers, lawyers, paramedics, business owners, preppers, Amish, and the ingredients of life come together in a story of greed, love, drugs, murder, and raising chickens.

Garrett Mosely has turned his back on a privileged life in the city to work as a paramedic in rural Ohio. It only cost him a wife and his family’s respect.  However, on the gently rolling hills he built a home and deals with illnesses, injuries, and tragedies of working in rural EMS:  drugs, blood, grief, and life and death.

Meredith McCoy, an investigator for the Attorney General’s Office comes to Lexburg to put an end to the local drug crisis; a professional stepping stone for the thirty-year-old Iraqi War Vet on her way to becoming the Governor of the State. On the surface, Harrison County is a placid serene oasis in a country dominated by urban society and culture, but greed, avarice, and power has turned Harrison County into a drug rampant community controlled by an unassuming drug lord and a predatory bike gang as the enforcer.

Millard Fillmore with Trident, swirls with chaos and unpredictability. How the lives of the characters turn out is a crap shoot. Just like life itself.
