RETIRED JOURNALIST MENACED, INJURED AS HE PROBES
DEGRADING CONDITIONS MENTALLY ILL AND ELDERLY FACE
DEGRADING CONDITIONS MENTALLY ILL AND ELDERLY FACE
A retired and semi-reclusive former journalist who strings for a local weekly newspaper is urged by a woman activist who brings meals to rural homebound elderly to help her expose degrading conditions some live in. Inspired, he also helps spawn a probe into mental patient treatment when a psychiatric center is downsized.
The activist's request involves him and his sculptor wife in investigations that lead to threats, injury, local political corruption, personal conflict, international travel, a reunion with a painful past and a choice about his future.

COMNG SOON ...
In addition to the novel “Uprooted,” I’m going to compile a collection of short stories, four which I’ve had the good fortune to publish in literary magazines, a couple of others in process. A few poems, too, two published in literary magazines. Tentative title: “Gateways” -- Getting some mojo back.
