A Novel

Eyes Like Mine

In late middle age, after a quarter-century clean and sober, novelist Paul Cody found himself lost in the fog of prescription drug addiction. He went to a rehab in the hills of Pennsylvania, and during a 37-day stay there he encountered doctors and soldiers and bartenders, MMA fighters and lawyers and businessmen-who were also junkies and huffers, coke heads and meth heads, drunks and pill-poppers and generalized dope fiends. He saw degradation and despair and hope and grace. And, with growing clarity, he began to see their humanity, as well as his own.

The Last Next Time

The horror tale of a boy who was abducted and went mad. It is recounted from various points of view, including the victim, now a grown man in an asylum. The others are people who might have saved him had they been less self-centered, such as the doctor who ignored signs of the boy's sexual abuse because he was in a hurry to go home. A first novel.
