The Shiny Thing -- An Uncle Wil Sequel (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The narrator, Uncle Wil's nephew, having attained a comfortable living in the mid 21st century, seeks to learn the origin of a very strange and wonderful object Uncle Wil discovered beside a flattened patch in his neighbor's pasture. He and his life partner, Riley, decide the origin must have been from an alien ship and set out across the North American Union to gather evidence. They are shadowed and helped and sometimes held back by the agents of a government who tracks the DNA of every person in the country. The investigation is punctuated by revelations to the reader of how the world has changed by the mid century and how people have adapted to it. There are new power sources, modes of transport, drugs, diets, and an upheaval in the Holy Roman Catholic Church to explore. The conclusion, set in Costa Rica, will answer many questions and raise many others.

Autorenporträt

Thank you for the unexpected amount of success my books have attained...I thought people would read them, but the degree of acceptance is gratifying.

I write from an island of clay in the sandpine country of North Carolina. I woke from a dream one night with the story of Twin Beeches fighting to get out of my fingers and into the computer screen. Rural Justice, the fight against the deprivations of strip mining, is based on the experience of many people who found their lives uprooted by the monstrous shovels, trucks and loaders needed to fuel our ever expanding electrical appetite. Rural Murder contrasts the traditional values and practices of former days against the inroads of more liberal activities.... Martha jo and her extended family are the consistent protaginal threads.

My memories of all those people and institutions of my youth who made up the matrix of rich and poor, young and old, ambitious and idle, pious and hell-raising....all are used to create startlingly true to life characters.

Adding my imagination, I created stories worthy of the players, ones I hope will leave you moved and wanting to know if there is still a quiet town named Woodland you can visit, sit in the park and try to beat the world's best checker players, or try your hand at finding the spot where Fay Rawley and his Cadillac are truly hidden.

May you, too, be blessed with a background to which you can hearken back when you need to think how far we have come, and whether we've really made progress.

Your comments, positive or not, are appreciated.
