While Tyler Sleeps ... [Paperback]

J. Ron Richard (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2000

Torn from the front pages of daily newspapers and weekly news magazines comes the story of Tyler Rand and his struggle for life in an uncompromising world of greed and irrational behavior. The novel is an engrossing tale of how estranged siblings must come to grips with the value of human life under a cloud of suspicion and life or death decisions. One - the younger sister Tracy - must make the choice for the other while outside influences push and pull at her every sense of what is right and wrong!

Step inside a world that most believe could never happen to them, but sadly does virtually every day of the year. How you view life will not be the same after reading While Tyler Sleeps...

About the Author

The author has been writing for most of his life, but never took himself seriously until he was downsized two years ago. Rather than return to the work place, he embarked on a sabbatical during which time he completed three novels. While Tyler Sleeps... is the first to be published with novels two and three to be published in the near future.

This review is from: While Tyler Sleeps ... (Paperback)

WHILE TYLER SLEEPS is a novel of psychological adventure, off the beaten path, with stunning insights into human experience and motivation. From the beginning, the reader is involved in a sensitive guessing game. I found myself asking "what would I do in such a case?" ~~~~~~~ Tyler's human environment may present us with parallels to ourselves. WHILE TYLER SLEEPS is a brave book, looking at life eye to eye without flinching. Author Ron Richard displays great talent for creating suspense at a refined level. The book's ending will leave many readers with a sense of Tyler's renewed vitality and courage, as well as discovering a perhaps unexpected familiarity with the outer limits of reality.

This review is from: While Tyler Sleeps ... (Paperback)

WHILE TYLER SLEEPS captured me on the opening page and held my attention until I finished it in one sitting. Ron Richard's novel has a strong storyline peopled by real-life, flesh-and-blood characters caught in their own particular moral dilemmas. The ending, I must confess, took me by surprise. I won't spoil it for other readers, other than to say the conclusion of this story will remain in my memory for a long time to come. Richard's novel is being considered for a TV drama, and after reading the novel, I can understand why.
