I thought I had a publisher for this, but after 5 months of waiting, they decided it did not fit their book list. So, I've got to go through the process of either finding a literary agent or a publisher. This is what is called a query designed to gain interest in the novels.
Bad things happen. Things so horrid the bravest mind cowers, burying the memories deep. They only crawl out in the weakest hours, dragging one back, covered in cold sweat, unheard screams echoing. Physical wounds can be healed. But, sometimes the mental ones have no easy cures.
Staff Sergeant Ray Daniels feels the aches and pains and touches the scars. But, he does not know who he is, where he is from, whether or not he has a family, and if he has a future. Unlike the other patients, he has no visitors or acquaintances. And nobody will tell him anything but that he was wounded in Afghanistan.
Sonora Symphony is a contemporary novel of 109,000 words that approaches PTSD from a unique perspective. It tells of American Indian healing techniques that include immersion in nature, using healthful and healing foods, diverting dark thoughts with tales and lore of American Indians, all taking place in the Sonora Desert of southern Arizona.
In the end, with the help and guidance of an ex-Green Beret Papago tribal elder, Ray must decide to participate in a ritual that may end his life in order to give him back his future.
And there is a completed sequel, Tsalagi (Cha-lah-ghee) Tales. When Sergeant Daniels learns his Cherokee Father, Irish Mother, and Vietnamese adopted sister were killed, he sets out to unlock the mystery of an international plot to murder Vietnamese War Vets and take their property.
I have any and everything you need available upon request.
