Starr's Novels and Non-Fiction
In-The-Works


	When nature decides to abruptly change the rules about perceived reality, a person has only two choices, adapt and muddle through, or join a long list of fellow travelers who simply gave into their overwhelming desire to leap into the afterlife. Brad understood this from a purely intellectual perspective but never fathomed having to actually deal with it. That all changed one beautiful late spring day when the world he and Jesse had known and thought they could trust was not just flipped head over heels, but while it was flipping---it was violently turned inside out.

		The craft of novel writing involves an interchange of emotions between an author and a reader. A writer creates a story line revolving around conflicts resolved by believable characters. Through dialogue either characters come alive and trap a reader into continuing, or they die when they speak, allowing a reader to close the book—permanently. If a writer performs his or her role effectively, a reader can relax and immerse their imaginations in the story and the characters. During the first two years as a beginning writer, I met the love of my life, consumed gallons of wine, and wrote, rewrote, and re-rewrote my first Great American Novel.

I knew in my soul this woman waited expectantly for the envelope to arrive. I imagined a smiling courier handing my letter to a nodding and knowing secretary who, seeing the return name and address, smiled. She passed the query to a messenger who rushed towards a closed conference room where the agent had assembled a group of publishers—each prepared to outbid the other for my work. The messenger knocked, failed to wait for a response. He burst into the room and announced, “It’s here.” Without waiting for the applause to die, he approached the agent and presented her with my gift. The woman clutched the letter to her bosom. Her retirement financially assured—she beamed. Such are the wanderings of the uninitiated mind—and thank God for such dreams. Without them none of us would ever persevere through life’s roadblocks.

O nature's noblest gift -- my grey goose-quill!
Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will,
Torn from thy parent bird to form a pen,
That mighty instrument of little men!
Lord Byron
(1788-1824)
