Four Years from Home
By: Larry Enright
(93 Reviews)
Genre: Humor | Mystery & Thrillers
FREE for a limited time
Tom Ryan, firstborn of five children in a large, Irish Catholic family, smart and acerbic, a cheat and a bully, calls himself the future king of the Ryans. There are other opinions. His mother calls him a holy terror. Mrs. Ioli calls the police on him. His father says that had Trouble been a saint, that would have been Tom’s middle name. But his parents, neighbors, peers, and siblings all must bow down before him or suffer the consequences. Just ask the Christmas turkey leftovers he buried in the side yard.
Harry, the youngest Ryan, was the shining star of the family. Bright, sensitive, and caring, he was protected by parental radar, called by God and Grandma Ryan to the priesthood, and was in Tom’s eyes, a brown-nosing little punk who had become a threat to his kingdom and the primary target of his search and destroy missions.
Then Harry changed. He abandoned his vocation and quit the church, and when he left for college, he left for good. He never called. He rarely wrote. His picture disappeared from the mantle. It was as if he had ceased to exist and his shining star had been but a passing comet. The enemy had retreated and Tom’s war was over.
“Four Years from Home” begins on Christmas 1972 during Harry’s senior year at college. The Ryan family has gathered without Harry for another bittersweet holiday celebration. When an unexpected and unwelcome gift arrives, the family demands answers and Tom Ryan, bully cum laude, must make a reluctant journey of discovery and self-discovery into a mystery that can only end in tragedy.
Written by the son of Irish Catholic immigrants, “Four Years from Home” redefines brotherly love in the darkly humorous and often poignant actions of its principal skeptic, Tom Ryan.

Conversations With a Dead Man
By: Doug Lucas
(12 Reviews)
Genre: Historical Fiction | Religion & Spirituality
FREE for a limited time
A stroll through an old cemetery will reveal very little about the people buried there. Their headstones will whisper of father, wife or lost child, but they don’t sing of the lives those men and women led. Even our national heroes are lucky to have one or two of their life’s accomplishments inscribed on their markers for future generations to marvel at.
Cemeteries are filled with forgotten people. They were people who had lives rich with or empty of the joys that just being alive creates for us.
Once we are dead and gone, our lives quickly fade into small morsels of oral history and are slowly forgotten by family and friends as time and generations pass. What would these forgotten souls tell us if they could talk?
Conversations With a Dead Man answers some of those questions from a dead man’s point of view. John Wesley Elder will share his loves, failures, accomplishments and the simple life he led with you.
Spending a few hours with him will allow you to understand not only the man, but glimpse the times he lived in. You’ll come to understand that although he’s dead, he still has a few quirks in his personality and one or two sorrows, he’s much the same as you or I.
John Wesley Elder was an ordinary man who lived, loved and built a life for himself. He invites you to join him for a quiet chat or two, if you have the time he’ll share events in his life that you can’t find on his headstone.
He’ll share his life and also try to help you understand the times he lived in and introduce you to some of the people who filled his life with joy and sorrow. So set down, lean against the coolness of his head stone and just listen.
