Author

Dark Day of the Soul is grounded in a strong sense of the elements of story and aware of the path that must be traveled in order to connect the reader with the characters. The narrative weaves together interesting and unique plot points into a compelling and enjoyable read without resorting to extraneous devices to maintain the reader's interest. Shocking elements are not overly marinated in sentimental storytelling and are left to resonate with the reader for their own sake. When the writing begins to get thick with emotion, just at the point when the reader knows that a wrenching of the heart is imminent, the story allows that emotion to tackle us and then takes a gentle turn back to the more common interplay between the two protagonists and the friendship they hide. Dark Day merges elements of conventional literary fiction with occasional, unconventional use of media interplay to carry the reader through an inspiring story of friendship and compassion. Conventional in the sense that this tale ambles along through a unique narrative, Dark Day is unconventional in that it incorporates television news commentary, radio news, and even computer transactions that read like international archive search information to propel its focus, namely what people will do, what danger they will subject themselves to, in order to protect what they love and cherish. Who would you die for? Or, harder to answer, who would die for you?
