O ovoj e-knjizi

Imagine Huckleberry Fin, sold and subsequently adopted at birth through an underground market, waking up in an urban world of wealth, a dysfunctional family, ROTC prep schools and trussed in a stubborn and unforgiving religion. Add to this an illicit love story, a mystery to resolve, a psychological thriller, and Victoria, an indomitable alter ego who abducts Huckleberry only to set him free in one of the cleverest escape adventures of all time. Told with blistering pace, absolute unpredictability, a movie like read, and a frugality or words unmatched, this book can be worn in your hip pocket until read on the way to work.

O autoru

Mr. Koelsch is a graduate of the University of South Florida located in Tampa Florida. He taught English for thirty-two years at a number of different educational levels but is now retired and living in Largo, Florida. After years of attending night classes, he finally was able to acquire a master’s degree in English, but this came after he bailed out of such courses as geometry, algebra 2, physics, chemistry, trigonometry, calculus, and, ah, comparative religion. In his teens, he was a Boy Scout for several weeks but discovered that he had no aptitude for knot tying or camping out. He preferred the security and simplicity of McDonald’s. As a high school student, Mr. Koelsch realized in shop class that he had no real aptitude for handyman work either. The idea that a nut could be turned right to loosen it and left to tighten it, as in a gas valve, just would not register. Hence, Mr. Koelsch wrote a poem in Mrs. Smith’s English class at a junior college and received an A. This success launched his teaching career, but his writing career and first novel were entirely in the hands of Victoria.
