The War Christmases
This book is about the times and the people who lived during World War II. About life in small town mid-America: the schoolhouse, the grocery stores, the barber shop, the taverns, and the characters. Particularly, it is about the people and what life was like during the war. Like the soldiers who fought in WWII, the people who grew up then are also slipping away, and these are their stories. Those times may well mark the zenith of American greatness, not only politically and economically, but also spiritually. We had both religious and patriotic spirituality, a nation populated with churches, a nation that had sent its young men around the world twice in the twentieth century, in the name of freedom for others. It was a nation of goodness, of strong families, a time we are not likely to ever see again. This book is about that time, stories that should be told, stories our children and grandchildren need to hear.
Ben Franklin and the Prius
More so than any of the founding fathers, Ben Franklin personified a free and independent spirit. Working class and considered unfit for public office in the old world, Franklin championed the common man, making labor honorable and worthy of fully participating in government. One wonders what Franklin would think if he could see America now. In this novel, Bently Spanworth, while duplicating Franklin's experiment with lightning accidentally transports Franklin into the twenty first century. Franklin's reactions to our world are both amusing and troubling. His recommendations for putting the Republic back on course would greatly reduce the power of political parties, limit their control of the purse, and substantially increase the number of women in congress. While here Franklin is smitten by a shiny black Prius Hybrid, and he and Bently set out in the Prius to assess the outcome of the 1776 revolution; visiting with common folks to determine whether, 'all are created equal, ' and, 'the pursuit of happiness, ' have any meaning in the twenty first century.
