I Wanna Be - a Diamond . . . Someday!


Book Description

Geoff McEwen, a US Navy Vietnam veteran, has been married twice and divorced twice. After his second divorce, his address became the interstate with a series of moves in a pattern of figure eights. Wherever he was, he needed to be someplace else. Self-imprisoned by his self-doubts, insecurities, and self-deprecation, he settled into a life of introspection, questioning his choices and beliefs and searching for something even he could not define. It was like living in the rearview mirror while life flashed bye* the windshield, being spectator rather than participating. On a December night in a Montana bar, Geoff finds a reason to reconnect with life, triggering a journey through his past experiences and old animosities. *Bye is used here in the sense of moving on with life without participationas in the bye weeks of football. Anton K. Vyborny

Dust to Dust


Book Description

How can life continue when the desire to live is ripped away? That's the question William McConnelly grapples with every day. He is frozen in time on the night his wife and son die in a house fire. Although his body goes through the motions of living, his reality resides in the past. By the time his father-in-law asks him to scatter Cara's and Sam's ashes in the Irish hills of his homeland, Will has lost all ties to America and life. After all, he can rejoin his lost family in the hills of Drumkeeran as easily as he can in Fort Worth, Texas. So, out of respect for all his father-in-law has suffered and done for him, Will agrees to the request and flies to Ireland. Even before his plane touches the tarmac, the ancient magic of Irish lore awakens to Will's desperate need. But is magic and an emerging belief in leprechauns and fairies enough to restore an interest in life, or are the dangerous quests Will undertakes in his reckless search for peace the final proof of his insanity?
