Book Description
After visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall with my wife in 1991 and being a student of history, I continue my interest online. I was surprised to find that among the fifty-eight-thousand-plus Vietnam veterans memorialized on that cold black granite wall in Washington, D.C., somehow twelve names of people who were still alive were among them. One day shortly after I retired, my wife, Ann, like many wives do, became annoyed at my being under her feet all day and suggested quite emphatically that I go find a hobby. So I did, hence, The Shadow of the Rainbow. Based loosely on historical facts, this is a fictitious story of a "thirteenth" person's name on the wall that woke up from coma one day to find he still had a chance to follow those dreams that had been so violently snatched from all the others.

Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
In the spring of 1955, new-minted vampire Diana Chilton rejoins civilization after the Fae boot her out of her self-pity, and meets an old friend, Jack Garrett, who recognizes her as a vampire. Jack proposes that he and Diana start a secret magical group and use their training and powers to manifest political and social change--exactly what Diana had wanted to do for many years. With two other highly gifted magicians, David Hofstein and April McFarland, Jack and Diana form their coven devoted at manipulating and changing other people, using powerful magic and mind-altering drugs. As the years pass, April, David and Diana slowly begin to question the wisdom of what they're doing and whether they can trust Jack. After a devastating reality check in November, 1963, and with other interests calling each of them, the three quit the group. Coldly angry, Jack packs his things and disappears. Left on her own, Diana follows clues she has been collecting for ten years and tracks down a vampire now using the name Troy Stevenson, but born Edward Tillinger in South Kingston, Rhode Island. He has joined a small commune of people starting an organic farm in a sprawling farmhouse in Sheridan, Massachusetts. The group accepts Diana and she joins their family. For the first time in many years, she feels that she has truly come home. Over the next six years, hints and news trickle back to Diana that suggest Jack may be working alone on a scheme far beyond anything their coven had dreamed of. As Troy investigates reports from Brazil and the Philippines that he thinks may help them solve some of the mysteries of their vampiric condition, Diana realizes that she has unfinished business. She is forced to choose between accompanying Troy on his travels, and stopping Jack from an action that will change history and life as she knows it forever.

Book Description
Rainbows Shadow and the tablets of fate is an adventure/fantasy tale about two novels, Rainbow Alley and The Sorcerers Shadow which have been mysteriously melded together creating an alternative dimension that has begun to write itself. The first novel, Rainbow Alley, is a mythical and magical novel of pure paradise as told and written by Joseph Collins to his grandson, Will Collins. The second novel, The Sorcerers Shadow is an adventure filled novel full of evil, sorcery and mayhem spewed throughout its pages and is the favorite story of Wills brother, Bryan Collins. As these two novels unify, they become more then mere pages, as a blend of good and evil begin to emerge into reality. Rainbow Alley is a surreal paradise Grandpa Joe has claimed to actually visited when he was younger. It can only be accessed through a golden portal by bringing four critical elements together. One magical night, as the four elements are sought to come together to gain access to Rainbow Alley, the unthinkable happens. By accidentally placing The Sorcerers Shadow novel underneath theRainbow Alley novel during the joining of only three of the four critical elements, Bryan has unknowingly set off the melding of these two stories. This creates their access to a new story and a land unlike anything the boys could ever imagine. However, this access would prove to be near fatal for Grandpa Joe, as he is stricken by a mythical force that sends him into a mysterious coma. Will and his best friend and neighbor, Jimmy Foster, set off on a journey, through the golden portal and into the merged stories in an effort to save his stricken grandfather While in this new and sometimes foreboding and pleasurable land, Will is driven by a voice, claiming to show him the way to heal his grandfather. What the boys encounter is incomprehensible, as they experience a blend of paradise, infiltrated by evil, sorcery and mayhem first hand.
