Mercer's Manor (PDF)

Bobby R. Woodall was born in Oklahoma City in 1944. He spent his childhood moving from state to state as his father followed the oil fields. Spent time in Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska and Texas, all oilfield related. This constant moving played havoc with his education. He was in four different grade schools in one year. His father never got past the fourth grade and his mother never got past the eighth, but they instilled in him a quest for knowledge. He was the first of over fifty cousins to graduate from high school.

When he was thirty, he had a horrible car accident. His car hit two mailboxes, one telephone pole and rolled end over end five times. Transported to the local hospital, he was given electric shock to start his heart beating again. He lay in a coma for 47 days and was finally released. “Here I was, a 30 year-old man who could not walk without the aid of a walker, could not dress myself and could not talk well.

After coming home, he spent time in speech therapy and learned to walk with a cane. Finally, he was able to walk on his own. There was a psychologist in Indianapolis that had developed a program to help brain damaged people to cope with life. While tackling these tasks, he started writing. It was only letters to the editor over problems he perceived to be wrong in his small town, but he quickly found out he liked it. Having been an avid reader, mostly westerns by Louis L’Amour and J. R. Roberts. He also liked to read thrillers by John Grisham and Tom Clancy. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was also a favorite. He would spend countless hours pursing a myriads of educational books. “Why I can write as good as them guys,” he thought. So he started writing western novels. He wrote clean novels, which means there are no cursing and no graphic sex. “I’m a Christian, so cussings are out and I’m not the world’s Mommy and Daddy.”
