Finding Fred-A Memoir of Discovery

In a memoir of resilience and grief, Smith chronicles the remarkable discovery of the truth about his father's life and death.

At the age of sixty-two, a lifetime's questioning of self and family stories is brought to conclusion through a remarkable series of events made possible by the internet and a certain serendipity.

Smith has taken the story of his father's untimely death, and woven it into a story of personal and familial struggles to survive in a difficult and often threatening world.

Resilience, strength, and serendipity come together as key elements in a touching story of one man's search for his father, his family and himself.

Finding Fred is available by searching the titile at :www.smashwords.com & at the iTunes bookstore. It will soon be available for purchase at both B&Noble for Nook and Amazon for Kindle.

The Limerick Homer


We have copies of the remarkable Limerick Homer available for sale. The Owl Oak Editors have reworked Homer's classic tales the Iliad and the Odyssey book by book into hilarious, ribald and frequently unintelligible limericks.

M. A. Schoor of the Frost Foundation comments:

"And so it goes. This epic absurdity fits right next to Slaughterhouse Five and Catch-22 on my bookshelf" -- M. A. Schorr

In these perilous times of economic uncertainty and grim reality checking, one needs a bit of levity. If you can only have one Limerick Homer, this is it!
