In 1945, David Hamilton is a WWII pilot struggling for survival in a disabled Corsair fighter plane in the war-torn skies over the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly and mysteriously, just as he thought all was lost, his life takes an inexplicable turn, leaving him searching for answers as he finds himself lost and alone in a different time, place, and, perhaps, identity. With little choice but to enlist the help of two rather reluctant strangers, David embarks on a desperate cross-country journey in a 1941 Ford Coupe that possesses its own secret past, and purpose, to find his way home and keep a promise made to the most important person in his life. Subtle clues and unimaginable revelations soon emerge, even as three evil beings shadow their every mile, waiting to strike. A Week and a Day is a unique, captivating, and amazing story of love, loss, and redemption, as the fragility of time is explored, and strength of the heart is found, when yesterday and today collide.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The idea for A Week and a Day was developed after two "what if" scenarios I had been pondering for many years were combined, along with a strange, and related personal experience from five decades past. A subtle yet revealing narrative is formed throughout the book, that extends the mystery and keeps the reader wondering what is really happening, and what is going to happen next. More than one supporting storyline is used to build tension, and at the right moment, are funneled into a climax few can guess, or ever imagine. The goal was to produce a unique mystery with elements of science fiction, WWII history, travel, romance, nostalgia, humor, and even crime.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The main characters were initially fleshed out and given certain roles to play but with the ability to adapt, expand and change. Which, of course, they did. As I got to know them, they grew, matured, and became more and more well-formed and complex, yet, not always predictable; they do have their own mind, you know. As the story developed on the road, so to speak, with well-thought-out actions and reactions to each other and developing situations, it all began to come together, and in some ways, not even in the way I had originally imagined or planned. In more than one instance, characters with small, even throw-away roles, became seminal figures in the advancement of and ultimate finish to the story, simply because they had to. Interesting characters all in their own ways, some I like, some I love, and some I hate. Such is writing, and life!
