WISH

As most of you know, Troy had written a novel titled WISH, which he completed in 2001. He worked to get it published and available to the public for many years. Iʼm thrilled to announce that Iʼve made that happen! Itʼs now available for purchase through http://www.lulu.com/ and the hardcover book is being assigned an ISBN so it can be bought through book sellers worldwide (this will happen in about a week). In the meantime, WISH can be purchased through the links below (or search at lulu) in either paperback or hardcover.

Hereʼs a synopsis Troy wrote:

Cole Caffy has dedicated his life as a talented engineer to building bridges that span rivers, which create safe passages. On the day of his retirement he wonders what kind of life heʼll lead without his days consumed by his passion for building bridges.

The answer comes in the form of a mysterious letter delivered sans postmark by a mischievous mailman. The letter informs Cole that because of his good deeds, and all that he has readily put aside so that others may discover fortune in their lives, he has been granted the ability to have his own wishes come true.

The unintended consequences of using his vibrant gift overwhelms Cole until a Dickens-like Clara Tout, another wish recipient, teaches Cole to understand the difference between wishing for what he wants and helping others obtain their own dreams.

Wish explores the chaos that underlies the power to acquire whatever we want, even when one with a generous heart is handed the reins of that very power.

I love this story! I can't even tell you how many times I've read it and each time I become emotionally involved with the characters. For those of you close to Troy, I know you will hear his voice as you read the words. It's also nice to know many of the characters are named for people in Troy's life: Laura is the lead female, Jerry is a bartender, Brett is a friend's son, Jenny Massey is a neighbor, Sharon is a prior love-interest for Cole -- and there are others. I hope you are able to purchase a copy and read this fabulous book. Please feel free to pass along the information to anyone you think would enjoy a copy.

Love,

Lori
