Download a Free Sample eBook Summary: 145 Pages -- Pieces of Eight, Part II is a collection of eight novellas that complement the eight stories that appear in Pieces of Eight. The selections are a blend of different short story and novella plots and themes. "A Noble Experiment," and "Inspiration for All," which takes place in Hammonton, New Jersey, are of the science fiction variety. "Obadiah Bush, Gene Alter and Branche Sawyer" represents futuristic humor and time traveling. "Dual Events" explores a reincarnation/revenge theme, and is set in Bermuda, where the author and his wife have vacationed. "Loyalty to Duty" involves an astrological prophecy fulfillment plot. "A Day to Forget" is a psychological drama, and "Death and Taxes" is a horror-oriented drama, set in the Delmarva peninsula. "July 4th, 2076" is a futuristic sci/fi/adventure/drama, set in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Review: PIECES OF EIGHT: Part 2 is the second book by Jay Dubya featuring a collection of eight novellas, and short stories that will suit just about any reader’s taste. The selections include such genres as inspirational, science fiction, astrology, drama, horror, adventure, fantasy, and much more, with such themes as: futuristic humor, time travel, reincarnation, and revenge. One of my favorites is the story DUAL EVENTS that captures coincidence after coincidence. It's about a frequent traveling couple, Hamilton and Joanne Alexander who travel to Bermuda in July. Hamilton finds himself deeply disturbed by a fellow passenger, Nolan Phillips. Hamilton's sixth sense tells him there's something amiss with this fellow's character and his intentions. Was he right? Always trust your sixth sense, I say. It isn't jealous, blind, or ignorant in any way...it knows. Is reincarnation real or imagined? Throughout the story, Hamilton is told that he has a familiar face. Mr. Dubya used Alexander Hamilton's description on the U.S. ten dollar bill as the character's physical look-alike. I found myself searching in my wallet for a ten-dollar bill! Jay Dubya is the writing name of John Wiessner, an extremely talented children's author. Mr. Dubya is a retired English teacher after teaching in public schools for thirty-four years, which is quite an accomplishment. He is married to Joanne and has three grown sons. Jay Dubya lives in Hammonton, New Jersey. --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, It's Only Ink! |
