Moonflower in Autumn Rain

<p><em>Moonflower in Autumn Rain</em> is a deeply poetic and at once tragically mundane—microscopic look at the uncertain reality of human longing. Here are moments and places untouched by time; fractured emotions; and estranged people trying and failing but sometimes succeeding in understanding their purpose in life. <br /><br />Part science fiction part romantic mystery and a dash of the Japanese I-Novel style of writing here lies a reality where the ocean can steal a deaf girl’s father; a memory of a friend’s harmonica can unravel a joyless existence; and a distant blue fire in the night sky may burn away a long-repressed loneliness.<br /><br />Coupled with complementary quiet poems is also a novella entitled: <em>Violet Amandrea</em>. A psychological haunting romance about a violin player who is assured that she’s dead.</p>
