"A former Marine, Foster knows what he's talking about, and it's that inside knowledge that really helps move this book along ... One word of caution here: "One Day As A Lion" is an unflinching look at war. It gets up close and personal and pulls no punches. If you're looking for a candy-coated collection of obituaries, look elsewhere. " Rodney Williams McKinneyNews.net

"Ronnie D. Foster has captured the true spirit of the Vietnam War. His remarkable work, ONE DAY AS A LION, brings humanity and insight to an often-overlooked conflict, and to the often-overlooked heroes who fought it. I heartily recommend this incredible book, and will continue to do so both on and off air." Ray Pasquin – The Ray Pasquin Show  New York City

"LAST TRAIN RUNNIN" is R.D. Foster’s first published book. This novel takes place in the mid-to-late 1960’s when America was in great turmoil. The story follows the lives of two young men as they try to cope with their own separate, but parallel worlds.

"Last Train Runnin" by RD Foster

Everett Blalock was a brilliant singer/songwriter/ musician and the leader of a three-piece folk group called "LastTrain Runnin." The very popular trio was well on the road to success, and was even touted as being ‘The-Next-Big-Thing’ in Folk Music. However, as fate would have it, the bottom fell out of the folk market due to the rise of Rock & Roll, and Everett found himself broke with nowhere to go. Everett had fallen in love with a beautiful young co-ed, whose wealthy parents didn’t like him at all. With their political connections, the young man who wrote and sang about peace and love, suddenly found himself on top of the Selective Service list. Terrified of being drafted into the Army and becoming an infantryman in Vietnam, Everett instead enlisted in the Navy on the assurance by a recruiter, that with his college degree, there was no way he would be an infantryman in the war.

Everett’s story begins as a squad of US Marines prepare to establish a listening-post on a small hilltop in South Vietnam. Everett Blalock is the Navy Corpsman assigned to the detail.

David Westerfield was a journalist and student at the University of Texas. With his affluent family’s connections, David had managed to avoid the draft and was active in the anti-war movement. He was one of those guys who always had good intentions, but seemed like was always getting into trouble, especially when it came to writing about politics, and having to depend on his folks to get him out. Trying to help him avoid trouble, David’s editor-in-chief, an old friend of his father, assigned him the job of writing a story about ‘Whatever Happened To’ "Last Train Runnin," the band that had been called the ‘Next-Big-Thing in Folk Music.’ Little did he know that writing about politics was child’s play compared to what was to come.
