In 1950’s west Texas, while exploring a mesquite-dotted desert, best friends Tim and Hect come upon an abandoned auto junkyard. Rabbit hunting loses its entertainment appeal for a game of “War” with their .22 caliber semiautomatic rifles, but the boys’ world suddenly flips upside down as their game turns into a ghastly murder, or so they believe.
Hect has the idea to set fire to an old shack within the junkyard for a final thrill of the day. Tim readily agrees, although he thinks his friend's objective is a wasp nest under a mesquite bush. They fill an empty bottle with gas from a nearby wrecked truck and hurl the Molotov cocktail at the sun-dried shed which erupts in a fireball. Shocked by his friend’s target, Tim gapes in horror as a blazing figure appears within the shack's fiery-lipped window. He and the human torch gaze at each other a terrifying moment as the memory tattoos a ghastly image on the boy's brain. Interrupted by the sound of sirens coming from the direction of town, and believing their prank may land them a seat on “Sparky,” Gatesville’s electric chair, the boys think their only choice is becoming fugitives from the law.
Armed with dogged determination and a forehead-slapping sense of naiveté, the boys flee into the harsh west Texas desert. Because of their pampered lifestyles until now, the two could not be less prepared to face hunger, thirst, life on the road, homelessness, and a world of poverty and slums, plus the mean streets of Juarez, Mexico.
In their travels through unforgiving wilderness and city ghettos, Tim and Hect fall into adventures and troubles beyond their wildest imagination. They encounter such personalities as scam artists, madmen, escaped convicts, and even mercenaries as the two friends stumble through west Texas, New Mexico, and deep into Old Mexico. In a tongue-in-cheek romp that will take readers through ranges of emotion, they meet never-before-seen characters such as Fast-One, a slum lord who ought to be in prison for the heartless practical jokes she pulls on her tenants, to a trucker named T.J. and his beautiful-but-deceitful daughter, Becca, who run a scam called the "Poison Log Routine," to a cowboy, Eli, and his wife, Snowball, who run a diner and allow Tim as dishwasher to eat all the scraps he can hold for a wage, plus other oddball-but-lovable characters.
A biting satire on societal excess and privilege that makes fun of the 1950's, the humorous action/adventure novel, THERE IS A GENERATION, reflects the wildness of boyhood, the idiocy of entitlement, and the fleeting nature of childhood.

WH BUZZARD'S book "There Is A Generation" is not only exceptionally written but a mystery to the last chapter. AWESOME! What is going to happen to Tim and Hect? Their mischievous ways have finally caught up with them and the safe haven they used to have at home is far from them now. I was so intrigued reading "There Is A Generation" that I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the sequel coming out sometime this year. On a scale of 1 - 5, it's a "FIVE" in my book!!!

There Is A Generation Kids of "The Greatest Generation" Kids of the Greatest Generation Book 1 edition by WH Buzzard Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A rambling account of very hard-to-believe circumstances. Plus, the drawl dialogue is distracting.
This book really brings you back home to Texas. Extremely well written , funny and brilliant. the use of West Texas slang and the descriptions of events is awesome. After starting I could not put it down and read late into the night to finish. There is a Generation is a wonderful experience. I so glad that bill was not killed in his younger years so that he could write. George Meadows
the story is really well written and pulls you in! i am glad i read it. looking forward to his next book!
A nice read. Would read another one by this author.
Hi-de-Ho Wild Bill, Willy Bird, BB, Mr. Buzzard Man,
I whittled away on your book. Reading it, as time allowed, on my i-phone and finished it last night. I don't usually choose to read fiction, but this is really a treat. I loved it.
It's a refreshing, souped-up, technicolor, sentimental journey down a youthful, partially imaginary memory lane. You seem to be giving Mark Twain a good run for his money. Is your Tom and Hect, the T and H an intentional play on Tom and Huck?
Your descriptive skills are extraordinary.
Some of us who rode many a mile with young Wild Bill, are amazed, relieved and just plain delighted that you, perhaps the friskiest cat in the barn, survived your youth, to sort out your laundry and get your robe washed. Thank God!
I poked fun at your bio write up telling Susan Park Eiteljorg how things have changed, in that the wild man from our youth now enjoyed taking walks and going to church. Ha. She said she enjoyed much the same, but added maybe that was not so radical in that she did not start out with an earned nick name like Wild Bill. Susan jilted my realization that, oh yeow, I too now especially enjoy walks and church.
Bill, I'm eager to read the sequel next fall. Congratulations on producing an EXCELLENT NOVEL!
My best,
Miller

Same comments as I made on Generation II. Story and characters are Mark Twain's but in a baby boomer/west TX setting. Nothing original.
Great read. Personally, I don’t have much knowledge of West Texas and the Mexican border frontier. After finishing the book, I feel like I have a vivid window into eerie scorpion encounters, desperate dry parched drifting, hitch hiking rides to unknown adventures all the while experiencing a host of manipulative to endearing characters. Two young boys (Tim and Hect) with their conflicted friendship, are just old enough to follow their crazy ideas which lead to thrills and near death experiences. An exhilarating literary ride to Juarez Mexico and back!”
