Summary

My name is Hazel Lamb…Lindsey, but my momma called me Fireball. I am 84 years old. I only got one year of schooling, but I am self-taught. I worked hard all my life. I plowed fields, cut timber, raised hogs, and managed several businesses. I got married 11 times. I buried two of my babies, but I brung up three children of my own and four step children. I met some of my husbands – and lots of boyfriends – while playing guitar, singing, and buck dancing at country jubilees. I survived cancer, and one of my husbands choked me to death, but my sweet momma brung me back to life. I shot one husband a little bit, and later, when he was dying of cancer, he was stole from the hospital, and, to this day, I don’t know where he is buried at. I like to tell people I am a movie star, cause I played the wife of a coal miner in the movie October Sky. My life started out hard with poverty and abuse, but all-in-all it’s been a pretty good life. This is my story, and I’d like for you to hear it and learn that no matter how bad things gets, you can overcome and be happy.

About the author

A lot has happened since the publication of FIREBALL. For a few months Hazel Lindsey (Fireball) and I (Julia Walker) did a lot of book signings, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Frequently Hazel would sing a song she wrote and the audience would love it. Sadly, a few months after publication she fell ill and passed away. She was a fireball until the end, flirting with doctors and male attendants in the hospital and telling them all about her book. She was buried in a private family cemetery on the land near Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where in her early twenties she built the house that her daughter Naomi Davenport still lives in. I have moved from Eastern Tennessee to Montgomery, Alabama. I continue to write. I have not published another book since FIREBALL, but I'm happy to announce that my brother Norman McMillan, an accomplished playwright, has completed a one-woman play based on the book. FIREBALL is now available as an audiobook. It's available on Audible and other audio platforms. We are pleased with the continuing success of the book and are grateful for all the readers and the wonderful comments left on Amazon. I'd love to hear from you. Let me know if you'd like an autographed copy. I love to visit book clubs and other groups to talk about FIREBALL, so feel free to invite me. I like to have a good excuse to travel!
