They’re supposed to be the best days of your life. But first you have to survive them. Superstar high school quarterback Brian Hollingsworth might have it all, but he wants none of it.

Twenty-four hours later, one is clinging to life. Another has stolen a gun. A coward is on the run and someone is on the hunt.

Larry's brother paid for Larry to have his fortune told too. But when the old woman saw fire and bombs and death in the silver fortune bowl she would not go on. Larry knew he had to escape to a safe place. But Fate and Fortune followed him. What the old woman had seen was true.

Think Bre'r Rabbit meets Huckleberry Finn and you have The Sweetness of Sugar. Born in South Dakota, he was ten months old when he began the nomadic life of a military brat. After eighteen years and as many moves that spanned from Asia to the United Sates and to Europe a couple of times, the road became embedded in his DNA. After college on the west coast he traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, for a time and then back again to California for a spell on his way to Hawaii, which became his home port after he joined the Merchant Marines. After several years sailing the Pacific, he ended up once again in California before going on to Miami, Florida for a stay. He has since traveled a good deal but now finds himself married and living on the panhandle in Florida for the past fifteen years with a pup and a kitty.
