The Woodsmen

The Woodsmen Kindle Edition

by Dell Sweet (Author) The idea had been Mike’s, a well-timed proposal during a particularly grueling quarterly review. “We’re losing it,” he’d declared, his voice cutting through the drone of economic forecasts. “We’re soft. This city… it’s made us soft. We need to remember what it means to be men, to rely on ourselves, not on algorithms and assistants.”
The consensus had been swift, almost too swift, as if each man had been waiting for the permission, the justification, to escape. The destination: the Southern Tier of Upstate New York, far from the manicured trails and well-trodden paths of more popular wilderness areas. Mike had painted a picture of untamed forests, pristine lakes, and a silence so profound it would be deafening after the ceaseless roar of the city. #Thriller #Drama #KU #Adventure #Survival

Elton John

wendellsweet7 June 6, 2026

Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, is a music legend known for his captivating stage presence and timeless hits. Here’s a brief overview of his background and history:

Early Life and Career

Elton John’s musical journey began at age three when he started playing the piano. He attended the Royal Academy of Music on a scholarship and later formed a band called Bluesology. In 1967, Elton John met Bernie Taupin after responding to an ad in the New Musical Express. They began writing songs together, starting a lifelong partnership that would produce some of the most iconic hits in music history.

Rise to Fame

Elton John’s breakthrough came with his second album, “Elton John,” released in 1970, which featured the hit single “Your Song.” This was followed by a string of successful albums, including “Tumbleweed Connection,” “Honky Château,” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” Some of his most notable hits include ² ³:

“Rocket Man”
“Crocodile Rock”
“Tiny Dancer”
“Philadelphia Freedom”
“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” (with Kiki Dee)
“Candle in the Wind 1997” (rewritten in dedication to Diana, Princess of Wales)

Biggest Hits

“Candle in the Wind 1997” is Elton John’s biggest hit, selling over 33 million copies worldwide. This song was rewritten in tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, and its success marked a significant moment in Elton John’s career.

Collaboration with Bernie Taupin

Elton John and Bernie Taupin continue to work together, despite occasional breaks. They’ve collaborated on numerous projects over the years, including the musical “The Lion King” and the song “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” for the biopic “Rocketman.” Their partnership remains one of the most successful songwriting collaborations in music history .

Meeting Ozzy Osbourne

There’s no direct evidence of a significant meeting or collaboration between Elton John and Ozzy Osbourne. However, they may have crossed paths at music industry events or award shows.

Legacy and Philanthropy

Elton John is not only a music icon but also a dedicated philanthropist. He founded the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992, which has raised over $400 million for HIV/AIDS research and support. He has also been recognized for his contributions to the music industry, including being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

Then I saw him. Robby.

He hadn’t changed much. Still the same lean build, the same unsettlingly calm demeanor that had always made me both wary and fascinated. His eyes, though, held a sharper glint, a honed edge that spoke of survival in a world even harsher than the one behind bars. He was a predator, disguised in the sheep’s clothing of a casual acquaintance, and the way he sat at the bar, radiating an aura of dangerous nonchalance, sent a chill down my spine… #Crime #Fiction #KU #Readers #Thriller #Kindle #Audible

Book 2 of 4: Easy Crime

The air hung thick and heavy, a humid blanket clinging to the skin even in the pre-dawn chill. The city, normally a cacophony of distant sirens and rumbling traffic, was unusually quiet, punctuated only by the rhythmic tremor that vibrated through the very foundations of the buildings… #Crime #Fiction #KU #Readers #Thriller #Kindle #Audible #Series

Book 3 of 4: Easy Crime

Marva took a slow sip of her drink, her expression unreadable. “Midnight’s risky, Robbie. The place is usually crawling with people that late.” Her voice was flat, devoid of any emotion, a stark reflection of her hardened exterior. Years spent surviving in the unforgiving landscape of the city’s underbelly had honed her survival instincts, turning her into a creature of stark pragmatism. She had seen too much death, too much violence, to afford herself the luxury of fear or sentimentality. #Crime #Fiction #KU #Readers #Thriller #Kindle #Audible #Series

Book 4 of 4: Easy Crime

Jenna clutched the strap of her worn messenger bag, her knuckles white. Her gaze was fixed on the two figures illuminated by the erratic neon. One was a burly man, his face obscured by the deep shadow cast by a baseball cap pulled low, his frame hunched as if carrying the weight of the world, or perhaps just the heavy duffel bag clutched between his hands. #Crime #Fiction #KU #Readers #Thriller #Kindle #Audible #Series
