SYNOPSIS

     All in His Past  is a murder mystery, detective and suspense story with elements of horror added in. A young man protects himself and his family from unknown killers. However, Roy Bullard is an unusual man who is not frightened as most persons would be, giving back to his mysterious, unknown tormentors as good as he gets. The story begins in the fall of 1989 and is set in Fairdale, TX, (there is a Fairdale Texas, but in All in His Past it is fictionalized). This is a grim tale, but also an uplifting one as we see how Roy grows as a human being while dealing with very dark and dangerous circumstances.

 

Excerpt from All in His Past

     Perhaps it is not intended in this life for this kind of serenity and contentment to last indefinitely. Indeed, many of us never experience it at all. It is possible that the Bullards, in the fall of 1989, were due for some changes in their lives, whether the strange occurrences had begun or not. But we will never know if this would have been the case or not. The strange events did occur. It is also possible that a law of averages exists in the universe governing each human being's fortune and circumstance. Ten years of uninterrupted happiness and the Bullards were due for a fall, you may say, and you may be right.     

     But, whatever your belief or theory may be concerning the human condition, it is without dispute that things changed rapidly and tragically for the Bullard family in the fall of 1989. If a dream can come true, then it is possible to live a nightmare.
