Manuscript Missing

Beschreibung

Kent and Angie Rowen . . . have everything going for them-popular, good jobs, happy children and grandchildren, prominent parents. They are the last couple the people of Newbridge would expect to have a midlife crisis. Trouble in paradise begins when Kent, successful insurance agent, decides to follow his Walter Mitty dream of becoming an author. Not content with one published novel, he is at work on a second, With Hoops of Steel. Night after night he secludes himself in his den, slaving away feverishly at his laptop, neglecting his wife. He is a chapter shy of finishing the manuscript when the sky falls: his laptop and backup CD are stolen! He sinks into a major life-event depression. No one in the family is spared the grief. His psychotherapist is about to recommend new and dangerous deep brain surgery when there's word that With Hoops of Steel has been spotted in the bookstore. Will this push Kent deeper into his black hole, or will it put him on the road to recovery? But how can he prove the book is his? Hmm. His professor-friend Scott Navano knows.

Autor

Carl Frey Constein, born into what Tom Brokaw has dubbed The Greatest Generation, grew up in the eastern State Pennsylvania Fleetwood City during the Great Depression of the 1930s. After college he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. For his ninety-six missions as C-46 pilot across the Himalayan "Hump" he was awarded two Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He recalls his year in the China-Burma-India theater of operations in the WWII memoir Born to Fly the Hump. After leaving military service in 1945, Constein pursued a doctorate at Temple University, majoring in English and educational administration. He was an English teacher, director of curriculum, superintendent of schools, education writer and columnist, and education director for business-industry. He retired at the turn of the millennium, leaving behind a lifetime of nose-to-the grindstone adventures as WWII pilot and public school educator to chase his favorite phantom-becoming an author. Manuscript Missing is his seventh book. Constein lives outside State Pennsylvania, in the borough of Wernersville.
