Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ruminations is a collection of random, but sometimes related, stories, essays, and poems spanning a writing journey of over fifty years and encompassing the author's experiences in the military during the Vietnam War, a side diversion to earn a living as a practicing attorney, and then a writing career after he was paid to go away in a corporate merger. The hiatus from being a lawyer provided an opportunity to travel and reflect on life, and the end of life, and how his life had played out over time. These reflections, along with drafts of stories and poems and scraps of paper tucked away in a file cabinet, provide the grist and foundation for this collection.The Vietnam-era related works have common themes running through them, and all except the essay, "Vietnam Story," and the poem, "The Wench is Dead," were written in draft form while the author was in Vietnam or shortly after his return home and gathered dust until he turned to writing full-time. Each of the essays or creative nonfiction stories has its genesis in something the author experienced (e.g., "Strangers on the Appalachian Trail") or learned from his family history ("The Poisoning"). The fictional stories were inspired by a melange of life experiences and observations and thinking "what if ." ("Across the Divide") or by current events ("Break the Bubble"). The poetry comes from staring out windows and the author's love of irony, paradox, whimsey, allusion, and allegory. As stated in the first poem, "I Am Not a Poet" "I record impressions, images, ideas, conundrums, /if not from the heart, from the amygdala." For what they are worth, these are eclectic ruminations about life, love, death, and whatever else the author stumbled across over the last fifty years. Ruminations contains a collection of random, but sometimes related, stories, essays, and poems spanning the author's writing journey over fifty years, from the Vietnam War era into the twenty-first century.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. No sooner does Patricia Egan, an idealistic young lawyer, embark on a promising legal career with a boutique southern law firm than the firm breaks up and she finds herself in a supporting role to an alcoholic senior partner representing a group of cities in a visionary alternative energy project. (It's 1980, and lines for gasoline snake around the block.) Instead of saving the country, the firm loses the client, and Patricia ends up defending a small-time safecracker and escape artist named Billy Angel, while trying to overcome the senior partner's failings and rescue the firm with the help of her associate, Jack Alexander. Patricia and Jack soon discover that some of their well-heeled clients, both former and present, are not only involved in a scheme to bilk the energy project but may also have instigated the murder of a city whistleblower--during Billy Angel's ill-fated burglary of a Taco Pal restaurant. When they become obstacles to the plot, Patricia, Jack, and Billy end up in the crosshairs of the conspirators, with deadly consequences. A new lawyer. A safecracker client. A gang of well-heeled enemies out to silence them. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In 1980, the first black supervisor at a Texas Gulf Coast refinery turns up dead behind an abandoned drive-in theater. When a Texas Ranger comes to investigate, the refinery's attorney, Dan Esperson, is drawn into the investigation-and into a tangled web of racial conflict, sex, and deception. Two refinery employees are arrested for the murder. One confesses that the other did it but will never testify. When the killer is released from jail for lack of evidence, Dan may be next on his list. Inspired by a solved, but never resolved, true crime on the Texas Gulf Coast in 1979, What Seems True is a tale of deception, sex, and revenge amid racial and industrial conflict in a gritty industrial setting.
