Title Life and Times of Billy "The Kid" Author Pat DeLong Synopsis The story of Billy's adventures is actually a homework assignment. Billy's teacher has the class write their autobiography. At the time, he is only 13 years old and believes his life has been dull and boring, and really hates the task of writing his life history. As he begins to focus back on his life, he is amazed at how adventurous it was after all. The book is one that once you start reading, you cannot put it down. The descriptive adventures will encourage your child to read what happens to Billy, a typical young boy who finds himself in one predicament after another. The book also teaches children to take responsibility for their actions. Billy's assignment makes him realize the importance of family and friends in his life. Biography I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, and after reading a horse story, I wrote my "first" book. Of all the things my mom kept, I wish she would have kept that. I went to college for art, but writing has always been a hobby. I've written Star Trek short stories, even submitted a script for Star Trek: DS9. In 2000, the unexpected passing of my father spurred me into taking a writing class. I always wanted to do that, but never found the time. Billy and his adventures came out of that class, along with letting me use my art ability for the sketches showing his life; it was the best of both worlds for me. I continue to paint, specializing in equine art, but I'm still involved with Billy. After all, a lot of his adventures are based on my life; there is a lot of fact mixed in with the fiction. A couple years ago I revisited with him, and added more chapters and art- even designing a new cover that is more representative of the book then the current one is. As my artwork continues to grow, someday it will enable me to further the adventures of Billy "THE KID" in a new, improved book. I considered Billy a gift, and as it was special from the start; I will never give up on him. Please visit her website; The Horse Zone Life & Times of Billy "THE KID".
