My War with Hemingway

A young sucidal veteran is stalked by Ernest Hemingway.
My War with Hemingway

Zach, a young veteran, contemplates suicide after a horrific tour in Afghanistan when Ernest Hemingway appears and stops him. Alone, haunted by the wars, and with his new friend Hemingway pestering him, Zach descends into alcoholism. With the aide of Zach’s army buddies, a new young love, Jessica, searches for him. But will they find him in time to save his life? And is her love enough to help him find redemption?

Mike Billington, Author of Murder in the Rainy Season: This book was, I must admit, very uncomfortable for me to read. That's probably because, in many ways, I identified strongly with its central character. Like its protagonist, Zach Powell, I am a veteran. Like him, I came home from the war determined to get on with my life; to be "normal."

Encore this book!

As a child, I escaped into stories. As an adult, I escape into stories when I read, and when I write.

A veteran of the United States Army, I was an educator for the Los Angeles School District in various capacities for thirty years. An active member of professional writing organizations, I have two eBooks published by a small press. I now live on the Big Island of Hawaii and have a sweeping Historical/Romance in the works.
