Angel and the Ivory Tower

Scan_Cov_AI.jpg

Great Aunt Alice is an amazing woman who has lived most of the great adventures of the 20th Century.  She was a barnstormer, a business woman, and even a war hero.  She came from humble beginnings, gained everything, lost it all and fought back to reclaim her place.  She fears absolutely NOTHING – except elevators, revolving doors, and ice water.

 

Her Great Nephew is afraid of EVERYTHING.  He’s lived his life in the shelter of his books.  Great Nephew loses his job as a professor of Pre-Georgian literature and moves to his Great Aunt Alice’s farm where he will help her paint the house, chronicle her fascinating story, and maybe learn a little about life.

 

Readers can’t wait to see what Alice will do next.

Book no.2

The Pencil Man

Scan_Cov_PM.jpg

The Pencil Man was a real person who lived in Anderson, Indiana during the 1950's. He was a beggar who had no legs, moved about on a board with wheels, and sold pencils on the street.

 

Many remember him, but no one seems to know who he was or what became of him. This novel tries to give some idea of what it would be like to be The Pencil Man.

 

The story includes the mystical realm of the spirits, experiences, and decisions that guide everyone's fate. It also places one in the position of The Pencil Man himself, and shows us the world from a very different perspective.

 

As with Angel and the Ivory Tower, you will be entertained, laugh, and cry, but more importantly your eyes will be opened to people around you who may now seem invisible.

This story is about, Lawrence – an old  man who has been burned by life and just wants to be left alone.  That all changes when Lawrence witnesses the gang beating of a troubled teenage boy. 

 

The last thing the old man wants is to get involved, but his deeper character, and an admonition from a ghost of his past to “Make it right,” forces his hand.

 

From that moment on, life changes for both men.  Eventually we see that the mysterious old recluse has lived a very different, and somewhat epic, life from the man who now sits on the porch and watches the trains go by.
