The Iconic Series

Bigfoot. Paul Bunyan. Abraham Lincoln. The legendary and mysterious Cliff Cave in suburban St. Louis County. The Iconic Series features three of Steve Akley's short stories involving iconic lexicons from popular culture, folklore and American history. These tales come from Steve Akley's Commuter Series - the perfect length for one or two rides to work. Each has a unique approach and different storytelling style.
Included in this book are the following short stories:Bigfoot vs. Paul BunyanPine Cone Woods is a remote community outside of Yakima, Washington. When the residents of P. C. W. began to encounter Bigfoot, they were intrigued at first. After all, they were amazed to find out the legendary monster was real!As the creature became more aggressive towards them, they began to search for ways to address their problem without drawing too much attention to their "off-the-grid" lifestyle.
Seemingly there was only one person to help them. Of course their solution was a legendary logger who has long since left the spotlight who wasn't interested leaving his self-imposed retirement from the public eye. Can the residents of P. C. W. lure Paul Bunyan out of retirement in Bemidji, Minnesota to help them out? It's going to take a lot of convincing and perhaps a little bit of luck. With the Bigfoot attacks increasing in intensity and frequency they really don't have any time to spare in their quest to have Paul Bunyan take on Bigfoot!The Lincoln StalkerFor an individual whom has been written about and studied as much as Abraham Lincoln, you wouldn't think there wouldn't be any mysteries left surrounding our 16th president.
Despite all of the interest and documentation available on the life of Lincoln, a few questions remain. A chance discovery of journals on an Indiana farm from an individual who knew Lincoln for over 45 years, sheds some light on a few aspects which hadn't been covered before. Thorton Andrew Davis VIII, the great-great-great-great-great grandson of the man who wrote the journals partnered with noted author Steve Akley to present these stories to the public for the first time.
You will be shocked, amazed and intrigued as these firsthand accounts clear up some of the loose ends about the life of Abraham Lincoln.
