I am not a writer, I do not know how to begin to write a novel. I have a story that must be told based on facts. It's not based on a dream, imagination, nor coincidence. My novel tells the story when God's (Holy Spirit) came to me in Birmingham Alabama, on January fifth, and sixth, two-thousand eight, on a school ground and left physical evidence. It takes place during a cool month of around fifty-five degrees over a two-day period. We are living today in a turbulent world where there is so much uncertainty, some feel hopeless, and some are losing faith. I come to tell them today, "God Is Alive and God Is Real" "Two Days That Changed My Life Forever" ~~~~~Beverly

After four volumes of Lynch's Corner stories, Mr. Summers now turns to poetry to evoke the mood swings of the seasons. We visit the coolness and dying of "October," the depth of family in "Generations," the strength of "History," the prisms of "Remembering" and "Mind Games," and far-away places in "Torre de Palma." "October Leaves" is about the moods of life.

Dodge Ball in the Dark is volume five in the Lynch's Corner series of short stories. This book moves away from the Lynch family and focuses on members of the Carr family, in particular Mike Carr. The stories cover a period of twenty-five years, from the first stirrings of the teen years, to the mature man who marries. Mike deals with the death of his dog, encountering a carnival of Gypsies, first love, temptation, working in a distillery, in the classroom as a teacher. A love theme flows through several stories. We glance over his shoulder as he meets odd characters, attends a most unusual funeral, goes hunting, plays golf with his friends, goes a-caroling in July, deals with the heartbreak and disappointment of his students, and meets unsavory characters. We meet recurring characters Ludlow Carr and Fingers Malone, both World War II spies, and observe their growth. All in all, we get to know Mike Carr, who is the protagonist for Mr. Summers' first novel, The Amber File, scheduled for publication next year.
