At the age of twelve, Billy Bradshaw is sentenced to community service. At the Liberty Street Home for the Elderly, he's thrown to the care of six aging Bohemians. Billy's summer takes an unexpected turn when a new administrator arrives to Liberty Street, planning to rid himself of the troublesome denizens of Hall B. Billy decides to save the home the Bohemians have created, and he doesn't face the challenge alone. Aided by Cassidy, the administrator's eccentric daughter, Billy embarks on a journey through the seedy New Orleans underground, hoping that together they can save his friends. But as Billy begins his journey to adulthood, he isn't prepared for the twists and turns the summer will bring. Faced with tragedy, Billy must decide if he can bring himself to face life and learn what it means to love someone. Michael DeVault's Anything But Ordinary is an ode to the Big Easy, and a compelling story of love, learning and growth.

About the Author Michael DeVault was born in Mississippi and grew up in Louisiana and Arkansas, which gave him a strong grounding in the rich musical and literary traditions of the South. He worked as a journalist for more than twelve years, covering politics and the arts for local and regional publications while he also worked on his novels. A two-time finalist for the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society Gold Medal (Novel-in-Progress, 2002, Anything But Ordinary; Novella, 2008, The Patriot Joe Morton), Michael's fiction draws on his youth to weave tapestries of intensely believable characters, finely honed plots, and imagery and symbolism inspired by the great southern writers, all wrapped into a package by clean, sharp prose. Michael received an MFA in Creative Writing from Lindenwood University in 2013, and when he's not writing, he teaches college writing and English.

Kwashnak Bookshelves groan under the weight of numerous coming of age stories as well as numerous odes to various cities around the world. Few of those loved cities have suffered such a major, and publicly recorded disaster as New Orleans has. The city has been written about so much that many of us feel we know her streets and denizens well despite never setting foot on her streets. In Anything But Ordinary, Michael DeVault weaves just a slice of the Crescent City with the story of a twelve year old boy sentenced to community service in a nursing home for a summer. There he encounters a half-dozen eccentric elderly residents who become and extended family to him, and those who work at and administer the home. The residents of "the Row" come from central casting of off-kilter and free-spirited characters who find their bond in their differences. More importantly they are the living reflection of the city in which they live - reveling in the fact that they are different and unique and flaunting the conventions of `the rules'. We are not treated to an extensive travelogue; most of the story takes place inside the nursing home, or the apartment the twelve year old protagonist Billy shares with his mother. Rather we see the city through the character traits of the row's residents. Billy's an outsider from Minneapolis who learns to love his new friends, and by extension his new home. Into this world comes another out-of-towner, the home's new administrator and his young daughter. The administrator is the antithesis of New Orleans - brash, demanding, forward and forceful, while his daughter is caught up in her own world in a desperate search for her long gone mother and is a character to fit right into the city. The clash of cultures, just like the clash of nature and the government's delayed reaction with the city leads to disaster and heartbreak. However, in the routine of the day-to-day and the ordinary, we come to love a city that is anything but.
