About

I am an author/writer/publisher. I have won many writing awards, including Associated Press, Sigma Delta Chi, etc. I worked as a newspaper writer/magazine editor for nearly 40 years. I spent a year with the FBI as a clerk in the late 1960's, regional sales manager for Bantam Books, and took my first job at The Birmingham News after taking a Creative Writing Class from the city editor. I hold doctorates in philosophy and religion and write a weekly column titled, Integral Life, for two newspapers in my state. I am working on a sequel to The Cry of the Cuckoos, and also planning on writing a script.

And can he live with the knowing? <br /></font><font size="2">John Wayne Cargile takes us on a journey that starts with much intrigue and ends with bold characterization of family life sometimes better left unsaid.  Even when all is well, it isn't. <br /></font><font size="2">What an emotional jaunt Mr. Cargile leads us on, spilling forth with page turner characters and strong plotting that keeps one on the edge of his seat to finish </font><font size="2">this book.  I enjoyed it no end. <br />Mr. Cargile has my undying admiration for writing a book that has no holes barred. Equal in emotion and plotting to a William Faulkner book, this one is a real keeper and one you won't forget for some time! Thanks for the enjoyable read.....</font>
