Yesterday, the 1960s pax came out at Amber Allure. My story, Silences of Fallen Stars, was included in it.
When they graduated from high school in 1962, best friends and secret lovers Jim McCutcheon and Ronnie Mayer had high expectations for the rest of their lives. Six years later, both are back in the small Nebraska town they called home, and worse, no longer together.
Once the golden boy, Jim now works on his grandfather’s farm, ignoring the disappointed looks he gets from everyone who expected him to end up at NASA. Ronnie lives in his parents’ basement, recovering from the blast that sent him home from Vietnam. Neither one is where they want to be, but it takes a special request from Ronnie’s mom for Jim to swallow his pride and visit.
Though the trip doesn’t go well, it opens the door for the two young men to start communicating again. One question haunts them, though. Have they changed too much to find their way back to each other?
There's an excerpt at the publisher's site to read more. Also, since it's part of the pax, all the authors are blogging over at the Amber Pax blog this week about their stories. My post will be up on Wednesday, but any comments made during the week have a chance of winning all five books!
