Sunrise Homeland

Sunrise Homeland weaves a captivating tale of friendship and spirit of adventure against the backdrop of 1920's Long Island. World War One troop-transport ship SS Tuscania is torpedoed by a German U-Boat, and young U.S. Army Pursuit pilot, Damian Fitzgerald's life takes an unexpected turn.

Thrown into the waters off Scotland, Damian's harrowing experience leads him to a fateful encounter with nurse Olivia Burton and childhood friend Lawrence Sperry. Despite facing permanent injury and the end of his flying career, Damian finds new purpose and camaraderie through Sperry's innovative ventures.

As a post war period of great technological change and aviation innovation emerges, Sunrise Homeland paints a vivid picture of rural Long Island at the cusp of change and invites readers to explore the island's rich history and enduring spirit.

T-Rex Stole My Computer

by William John Rostron

Stories that will make you laugh, cry, and feel a thousand emotions in between.

Following on the heels of his critically acclaimed first book of short works, A Flamingo Under the Carousel, William John Rostron continues with this second compilation of published works that utilizes multiple genres. Again, the reader is treated to tales of fiction, non-fiction, and his unique style of "almost fiction."

He spans the globe with stories that take place in London, Paris, and Rome... not to mention the oceans of the world and outer space. Rostron's imagination brings you to the mysterious town of Darkness Falls and to the deepest jungles of the Amazon where inexplicably a tribe of light-skinned, English-speaking natives is uncovered by explorers.

Non-fiction pieces deal with topics of family, love, and survival as exemplified by the Writer's Digest Award winning stories of Call Me T-Rex, Cat's in the Cradle, and Senseless.

Each tale includes a distinctive introduction highlighting the how, when, where, and why of each original creation. These are stories unto themselves—giving the reader a unique insight into the author's mind and his writing process. T-Rex Stole My Computer truly has something for everyone.
