A Rewrite . . .

/ Ed Lehner / Leave a comment

I have the second book (tentatively titled, Sunset in Paris) of a series ready for review, editing and publication which is a sequel to my first, San Juan Sunrise. Since this will now be a two book series I decided to go through San Juan Sunrise again and I ended up doing a complete rewrite, which, I believe has made it a much better read,

The upshot of all this is that the revised edition of San Juan Sunrise should be republished, possibly by summer 2023 and followed by the sequel, Sunset in Paris, maybe in Fall or early winter 2023..

So stay tuned for updates on the progress and availability for book one and book two. Jenny’s adventures are more exciting now in San Juan Sunrise and even more so as she travels to Paris and meets some interesting new characters including a famous Formula One race car driver.

Solstice

/ Ed Lehner / Leave a comment 

Descending chords sounded the death knell of summer. 
The piper calls the chieftains, kings and warriors
from the far fields of wasted war and destruction
to gather together around bright solstice fires 
together with lost forgotten lovers and friends.

So beat your pagan drums to the bright religion
of the earth, of the universe, of all the gods
and goddesses that are our daily companions
while we walk this mortal coil to the new light
we have sought since leaving our mother’s wombs.
