Description

A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.

Story Behind The Book

Evin Driscol is not just a historical writer but a vampire who writes on supernaturals and their impact on human history. He is loved by some, hated by others, and tolerated by most. Though sharing knowledge of his own kind is pushing the fine line, Evin continues to write about supernatural history while exploring his own. Evin is ending his “Vampires and the Roaring Twenties” book tour in Chicago, his hometown. Just as things seem to be falling into place for Evin, his life is turned upside down when his own history threatens to repeat itself.

Reviews

"The Chosen Historian is not only an extremely creative take on vampires, but a very easy read that will leave you wanting more. Just as I thought everything had been done in the world of writing about vampires, Randi Ertz proves me wrong." ~Christina Allen<div> </div><div>"Kept me interested the whole time, I couldn't wait to find out what happened, but now an sad that I'm done!" ~Diane Kramer</div><div> </div><div style="font-size:11px;">" You got a bit of Twilight with the ability to walk around in the daylight and not have to drink from humans (notice I said "have to"...doesn't mean they prefer it that way). Add in a dash of True Blood aka the Sookie Stackhouse series with the being out, having a governing organization, and synthetic blood drinks. Shake those two together and add in a few more...and you've got a mixed concoction sure to startle lovers of the classic creepsters, but certain to dazzle the minds of readers today. Certainly a recommended read for YA and fiction fans, and the start of a series I would definitely be interested in finding out just what happens next." ~Insatiable Reader Gina <a href="http://insatiablereaders.blogspot.com/">http://insatiablereaders.blogspot.com/</a></div>
