THE DESOLATE HEART DINNER PARTY
THE DESOLATE
HEART DINNER PARTY
Part One
Granny Hodge sat apart from the rest of us.
This came as no surprise, knowing Granny as I do:
Ancient, reclusive, suspicious. For her to join a dinner party, even as a
silent observer, was something of an accomplishment. In truth, I am a little
afraid of Granny. Wise and elderly she may be, but she is also deceitful. She
guards her truth within her gnarled body and she masks her thoughts through
rheumy eyes that see everything. She serves a dark master with grim success. Granny
kept her watchful gaze on Hester Kyle.
Hester needed watching. Not because of her beauty,
but because of her deviousness. Hester bore the luscious ripe beauty of a young
Sophia Loren, and harbored an ugly self-serving heart. Given her background,
the acts borne in Hester’s dark soul failed to surprise me.
I turned my attention from Hester’s shifty, greedy
gaze of her surroundings to Granny. The old woman fingered the birthmark on the
back of her hand and met my eyes. I know she read my thoughts, and a cold hand
wrapped around my heart.

Chuck Walsh signs two book deal with Vinspire Publishing!
Chuck Walsh signs two book deal with Vinspire
Publishing!
Chuck Walsh’s two novels, A Month of Tomorrows (to be republished 2014) and A Passage Back (release 2014) have been acquired by Vinspire Publishing www.vinspirepublishing.com.
A Month of Tomorrows, which was previous published by the now defunct Mitchell Morris Publishing and on the market for 15 months, is about to get revamped and re-released! A Month of Tomorrows rose to the Top 10 on Amazon’s bestseller list for Historical Fiction and was critically acclaimed by readers, authors, and editors. It is based on the true story of Walsh’s uncle, Rubin Stout, a decorated WWII war hero who orchestrated the restoration of the Ville Verde Monument in 1987 in Luzon, Philippines. The monument, designed to honor fallen soldiers in the final battle of the Philippines (of which Stout fought), was desecrated after its erection in 1945. The book is a fictional memoir of Samuel Gable (based on Stout) dictated to a local journalist who gains much more than a story from one of the most amazing men of our “greatest generation,” but rather intimate details of war, love, and tragedy few have ever experienced.
A Month of Tomorrows is deep in prose, and is character and scene driven. Though it is a page-turner, each word, sentence, and paragraph play a vital part to the story. As one reader stated, “Reading A Month of Tomorrows was like eating the sweetest, most juicy apple. I wanted to savor each bite, and was saddened when it came to an end.” Having garnered five-star reviews across the board, we are looking forward to seeing it there again and again.
A Passage Back is a story choices. We’ve all heard the phrase, “If you had the chance to go back in time, knowing then what you know now, would you?” Well, in A Passage Back, Chase Watson does just that. This book is a heart-warming, touching journey to a time of nostalgia as he revisits his childhood in the 1970’s, if only for a short while. It is sure to make the reader laugh, cry, and perhaps long for simpler days. A fast, page-turning novel in which Chase goes back in time after an accident that occurred the day of his mother’s funeral, he is once again twelve years old, knowing full well that he is actually a middle-age man caught up in some crazy dream. He not only makes the most of being with his young and healthy mother, as well as getting the chance to be a kid again, but he battles the dilemma to play God by preventing the death of his childhood friend. He also attempts to break his father of his drinking ways in order to bring peace to the family wrought with strife and heartache. Chase finds out nostalgia can be painful and the past sometimes should not be changed.
Loiacono Literary Agency is honored to represent Chuck and all his works. Walsh has also written and we are seeking publication for Shadows on Iron Mountain and its sequel Backwoods Justice, which take the evil doings in the backwoods of Tennessee to a new level, and A Splintered Dream, the story of Cape Jeffers, a small town hero whose lifelong dream to play for the New York Yankees was shattered after enduring a life-altering tragedy.
Chuck Walsh is a graduate of the University of South Carolina. He discovered a passion for writing in 2004 and, since then, he has written human-interest articles for a dozen publications and co-authored Faces of Freedom (featured on Sean Hannity’s book list), which recognizes the noble lives of U.S. soldiers who died while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
