“Are you ready?” he yelled again.
We stepped inside.

Acknowledgements
Writing is the hardest work I’ve ever done and also the most exciting. Many writers helped me along the way: my mother, Barbara Blair, who encouraged me in everything I’ve done and is now happily writing her own stories; my late father, Bill Legg, whose zest for life taught me to live; Lee Davis, the first to show me the meaning of “show, don’t tell;” my grandfather, Wilbur Blair, who questioned logic in each line I wrote; Gene Legg, for showing up during the hardest time in my own story; and my four very different brothers (Blair, Bryce, Baughan and Brae) for four very different reasons; Mollie Gregory for her brutal wisdom, caring critique and important suggestions; Mike Sager for the nuggets of writing wisdom he has generously given through the years; Harriet Greene for following the threads; Marty Goldman for redirecting several scenes; mostly to Roanne Lewis, whose poetry of such beauty and deep meaning inspires me; and finally Teakki, who patiently waited while I wrote, instead of playing cars and trucks.
About the Author
Brandt Legg was a child prodigy who, after the tragic loss of his father and crippling migraine headaches, turned an interest in stamp collecting into a multi-million dollar business empire. By eighteen, the high-flying Legg, known to the media as the “Teen Tycoon,” became ensnarled in the financial whirlwind of the junk bond eighties, lost his entire fortune . . . and ended up serving time in federal prison for financial improprieties. Legg emerged, chastened and wiser, one year later and began anew in retail and real estate. From there his life adventures have led him through magazine publishing, newspaper writing, FM radio (behind the mic and in the business office), and music production, including CDs and concerts. Outview is the first book of his Inner Movement trilogy. For more information, please see www.BrandtLegg.com.
