Randall Wake got more than he bargained for during his trip to St. Thomas in the Caribbean. He enjoyed all of the sights that a tropical paradise had to offer; sun, beaches, drinks, music, and sex. What he didn't enjoy was the interruption of a disturbed US Navy Sailor. What starts as a quest to understand a tragedy ends in the discovery of something sinister happening to the Navy's new recruits. Set in the early 1990's, just after the infamous Tailhook Sex Scandal, this novel takes readers on a Hemingwayesque journey reminiscent of "The Sun Also Rises", through the torturous emotional depths of Camus' "The Stranger", and finishes with a grand finale that echoes "A Few Good Men".

This story involves the romantic and intellectual activities of some fictional European immigrant converts to Mormonism as that indigenous religion made its turbulent development in America. Courage, confidence, disillusionment, hardship, passion, hope and joy play their roles.

Robby Owens is desperate to fit in with the people of Willits, a harsh logging town unlike the polite society he knew in an upper-class family in Pittsburgh, PA. Pearl Street is the story of a fourteen-year-old east-coast transplant living in a remote small town in northern California-a riches-to-rags story. After his parents' divorce, Robby and his alcoholic mother move across country to be closer to Robby's older brother and his brother's new wife. Despite some positive steps, Robby struggles to make friends. His mature appearance, east coast accent, and love of literature set him apart. Robby's crush on a young English teacher evokes memories of a dark secret and a tragic death from the previous year, plaguing him with guilt and despair. Robby's isolation drives him to thoughts of suicide. Ironically, he forms a bond with another misfit, an attractive but semi-literate neighbor named Candy, who hides a terrible secret of her own.

The Complex, by Scott Evans, tells the story of Robby Owens, a thirteen-year-old boy who, after his well-to-do parents' divorce, moves with his mother from their upscale neighborhood near Pittsburgh to a small town in northern California. As his mother descends into alcoholism and depression, Robby searches for love and affirmation, but he encounters merciless ridicule and rejection at his new Catholic school, and humiliation in his first sexual encounter with an older girl. These experiences send him into a complicated relationship with Heather Price, a lovely, young single mother who lives with her six-year-old daughter Emily in the same apartment complex. As Robby's feelings for Heather grow, he learns about her secret past, and the choices they make have consequences that alter the lives of everyone around them. The Complex reveals a powerful coming-of-age story with both humor and honest emotion, taking readers on a journey reminiscent of The Summer of '42 and Catcher in the Rye.
