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.

<strong>Reviewed by Rita Hestand (author of Hannah's Man &amp; More)<br /></strong> <br />Sometimes finding the truth opens up a can of worms that can't be disposed of. <font size="2">Retired news reporter Donald Drummond, and his retired teacher wife, Anne, begin to unravel a family mystery that leads to death and intrigue.  Trying to discover his father's killers, Donald is whisked into the confidence of the FBI and faced with insurmountable truths. <br />Donald is forced to deal with his</font><font size="5"></font><font size="2">father's underhanded business with the Society of Southern Patriots, and an unmasking of his own identity that he must come to grips with. <br />After sixty one years, Donald meets his real mother. And his mother is a suspect in his father's death.  His father was poisoned. However, as Donald works </font><font size="2">closely with the authorities, he unravels one bad soap opera after another, how much can one man stand to know about his heritage? 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>
