Annie is still a young woman when she comes to West Virginia. The time is the early 1970's when many young people were leaving the cities and seeking a rural lifestyle. Although her introduction to the state comes in the form of a music festival, she soon graduates to permanent status as a member of a local commune. In the years that follow she learns many lessons-some bitter, some sweet-about human interaction under such conditions. Interwoven throughout her odyssey is Clarisse, an enigmatic Rastafarian iconoclast who is part mentor and part object of her desire. Although Clarisse has a bad habit of going on walk-abouts and disappearing for months on end, he continues to influence Annie's thoughts from afar and is even there for her when she enters into a disastrous relationship with one bad-assed outlaw by the name of Jesse James. This is a story of opposites and one woman's attempt to find her way through the labyrinth that leads to adulthood and autonomy.

Excavations from a Blue Room is a collection of three stories that were written over a twenty year period. True to archaeological form, the first is the most recent. Entitled The Twelve Days of Christmas, it is somewhat of anti-love song, and involves two tortured teens who have a serious communication break-down. The second story, Some Random Thoughts on Death and Dying needs no further introduction; the title says it all. The final offering, A Society of Strangers, is perhaps the sweetest of the lot. In it, a middle aged woman brakes for a good looking hitch-hiker and ends up on a wild romantic tangent that pushes her views on the nature of reality itself. Bundled together, the stories make a tight and unusual package. It was as if they were waiting for each other through the decades for the time when they could be joined together. All it took was digging up the bones and presenting them under the same roof. Let's just call it Exhibit A for short.

Within these pages you will find a collection of poems and poetry both sacred and profane. Some are personal, but many are universal as they detail my journey over the past fifty years.

There is something about West Virginia that serves as a magnet. Ask John Able Adams, he should know. Brought up in one of those little honky-tonks that line the S-curves of good old Wild and Wonderful, his first impulse was to escape. Yet despite two tours of duty in the Marines and a decade long hitch in South Florida, he's back, trying to make sense of a world that seems bent on spiraling out of control. This is his story, part crime novel part romance, part political statement. In short, a little something for everyone.

Spanning five decades and almost as many continents, this book provides a contemporary travel log as it chronicles the journeys of two lost souls who are seeking their own private redemption. Space Age gypsies, both have dedicated their lives to the fine art of wondering, always on the lookout for the Holy Grail which might complete their quest. For years they are ships passing in the night, subliminally aware of the presence of each other, though not yet not ready to make contact. Then, after events in their lives finally push them to the boiling point, they manage to not only meet but form the sort of indelible bond that is only available to opposite ends of a magnet.

It was called the storm of the century by some but, for Jonah, it was just another night until the roof blew in. Tough, callous, and a veteran of many a foreign and domestic war, he was not the kind of guy to give a damn. Yet a serious injury during his last call of duty has left him questioning his past actions, so he is determined to return to the scene of one major crime of passion in search of some sort of resolution. But a major hurricane has other plans, and he is in for a surprise. Although her home is miraculously intact and one room in particular just as she left it, the woman he seeks has disappeared. In his attempt to find her, he discovers that he must embark upon a journey that defies both time and space, a journey into the unfamiliar country of her memories. This is made possible through an odd collection of talismen and is as disconcerting as it is life changing. With each new memory comes a lesson to be learned via her search for perfect love, and love is not something that Jonah does well.
