The Book Club Widowers
Family life is often an incubator for the confusion, distraction, and stress that professionals experience while facing nonstop change, accelerating technological disruption, and the collective “noise” that grows louder each day. In this page-turning, “literary mystery” of a thriller, three suburban mothers take their wine-filled, literary discussions on a girls’ beach trip. And mysteriously vanish. The husbands and fathers remain behind, balancing their personal ambitions and failures with trying to help their bewildered children move forward into a new normal. Detectives seek evidence of a crime, and ambiguity reigns as lines blur between friends, lovers, and enemies.
Narcissus Blinked
Three Nashville-based novellas explore the perspectives, strengths, and flaws of creative people seeking clarity and fulfillment amid nonstop change, accelerating technological disruption, and the collective “noise” that grows louder each day. Spend a day in the life of advertising executive Jacob, a semester with new graduate student and budding poet Kate, and a weekend with single father and writer Brian. You’ll be entertained and inspired as these characters tap into latent resilience, discovering deeper capacities to be more mindful, continue to learn and grow, and compose an even better life story.
