The Dreams of Gerontius Nov 29, 2021

by Michael Easterling

( 1 )

$7.95

Ever since Michael brought home a cat, whom he named Gerontius, he has been having very vivid dreams, and each dream has featured a cat, and each seems to be telling Michael something he needs to hear, if he’ll only listen. But Michael scoffs at the idea that a cat could have anything to do with this.
That’s because, like many humans, Michael fails to realize that a man is incomplete without a cat. Yet if Michael wishes to discover his true self, he must learn from these cat-inspired dreams. For as Gerontius says, “Cats are the dreamers for those who cannot dream, the seers for those whose vision rarely rises above the ground.”

Assistant professor of anthropology Parry Euphrates is ready for a change, and when her friend, guitar playing legend Adam Manly Singer, shows up, she is more than willing to lend an ear to Adam’s proposal: to dig up the grave of a man made famous in a murder ballad. Adam sweetens his bid with descriptions of the peace and beauty of Hoagland Holler, West Virginia where the man is supposedly buried; also with nights spent around a campfire, sipping moonshine and serenading the stars with their guitars.It all sounds great to Parry. Yet little does she realize that in digging up the grave, she will also be resurrecting an old feud, and when the bullets start flying, she’ll be looking for help from beyond the grave.

Christmas Eve on the Underground Railroad: and other Christmas stories Sep 30, 2018

by Michael Easterling

( 6 )

$7.95

Christmas, it has been said, is many things to many people. In these seven stories the meaning of Christmas is as varied as the time and circumstances in which they take place. A young Quaker recalls Christmas as a time when he received the courage to shelter fugitives. A Dutch fisherman is driven to despair by his own compulsive gift giving. An Amish housewife seeks resolution for a life haunted by the image of a Christmas tree.
Of course, Christmas is foremost a celebration of the birth of Christ, and a time for life made anew, which is why we delight in the redemption of Scrooge. But what of poor Jacob Marley whose sacrifice made possible Scrooge’s salvation?
Christmas is also a time we associate with miracles, and a miraculous gift from Santa Claus allows a boy to make peace with the senseless death of his parents.
And lest it be forgotten that Christmas is a time for joy and playful celebration, there are Roy and Willis, two handymen bent on playing Christmas carols on a pipe organ fashioned out of a pickup truck.
Lastly, in a children’s story, a hermit finds Christmas to be the chance to help a mysterious stranger dressed in black.
Seven stories, seven different Christmases, yet all united by this: Christmas is special to all.

The Water at the End of the World Aug 15, 2017

by Michael Easterling

( 17 )

$9.99

While on his way to visit the healing waters of Tambo Puquio, the Capac Inca, emperor of Tahuantinsuyu, is forced to stop at the small village of Qomermoya. Perhaps this was the will of the gods, for there, Yana Mayu, an impetuous young woman, takes it upon herself to aid Topa Inca, the emperor’s ailing son. This act of kindness triggers a chain of events that will not only lead Yana on a journey of discovery, but will alter the course of history.
Learning that only the water at the end of the world can cure Topa, Yana becomes convinced that she has been chosen to find this healing water, for in a dream the gods have shown her a crystalline river flowing underground. But as Ipa, Yana’s knowing aunt, says, “nothing in dreams is clear.” Undeterred, Yana leaves her home and those she loves to travel lonely roads across ice-covered mountains and into the rainforest in search of the entrance to the underworld and the source of the water at the end of the world.
The Water at the End of the World is a retelling of an Andean legend as it realistically might have happened given the religion, politics and customs that characterized the height of the Inca Empire. It is descriptive of the natural beauty and majesty of the region’s diverse environments. It is a coming of age story certain to thrill both young adults and adults alike.
