In Search of Himself

July 11, 2009

Imagine waking up one morning and not knowing where you are.  Unfortunately for Phil Martin the main character of In Search of Himself, by J Russell Rose, he not only doesn’t know where he is, he also has no idea who he is.  “He wakes up in another man’s world…”

Phil Martin has not been a particularly likeable person, the reader soon discovers.  However, as you follow his struggle to find his identity – indeed his life, you notice a change, and slowly begin to feel empathy for him and his condition. 

In Search of Himself is available for preview at Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/in-search-of-himself/1476071).  This book and others are available at significantly discounted cost by contacting the author directly – jrussellrose@ymail.com.

Breaks Interstate Park is a good venue

Today, July 10, 2009 Linda Hoagland and I set up on Potters Knoll at Breaks Interstate Park.  The sun was hot and it rained but several other authors were there.  We did not sell many books but the Gift Shop took several of our books.  this made the trip very worthwhile.  We will go back tomorrow since we were told that a car show brings in lots of people.
