Concerning Howard
It is not easy to be suddenly and unexpectedly faced with your own mortality when you are in the prime of your life. “Concerning Howard” is the story of one determined man, who after a heart attack and debilitating strokes, beat the “odds,” ninety-nine to one. He took a giant step beyond that, and returned to his place of employment in another job. The focus is on Howard’s hopes, ideals and struggle to cope with and find meaning and fulfillment in his life. “Concerning Howard” is narrated by his wife, the author, the observer, one who knows him well and shares his long difficult road from challenge to triumph. Throughout the book she asks numerous questions – some with possible answers—some she leaves to us all to answer. In the early chapters of his recovery, she introduces a novel twist and shares many personal notes of their lives. Later, she includes a glimpse of his travels and career when he taught English at Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey where East meets West.

Howard Elman's Farewell
Part Falstaff, part King Lear, but all American, Howard Elman was a fifty-something workingman when he burst onto the literary scene in The Dogs of March, the first novel of the Darby Chronicles. Now in this, its seventh installment, the Darby constable is an eighty-something widower who wants to do "a great thing" before he motors off into the sunset. Maybe Howard achieves this goal, but he manages it in strange, wonderful, and dangerous ways. On his quest he's aided, abetted, hindered, and befuddled by his middle-aged children, his hundred-year-old hermit friend Cooty Patterson, a voice in his head, and the person he loves most, his grandson, Birch Latour. At 24, Birch has returned to Darby with his friends to take over the stewardship of the Salmon Trust and to launch a video game, Darby Doomsday. At stake is the fate of Darby. And the world? Maybe. Howard Elman's Farewell begins as a coming of (old) age story, morphs into a murder mystery, expands into a family saga, and in the end might just follow Howard Elman into the spirit world. This is a novel for people who like New England fiction with humor, pathos, and just a touch of magical realism.
