"Solomon's Puzzle" author signs books at Cottonseed Glory
Solomon's Puzzle Two adults claim one living child What if the child had been given to the liar? Everyone
in Annapolis knows "honest" Tom MacBride. An Academy grad who ran a
soup kitchen for the poor and poor in spirit, he's a devoted husband,
father of four, and the beloved basketball coach at CCS. His sworn enemy, Colonel Max Hunter, wants him dead. Max
Hunter won custody of the infant Ben in a fight he shudders to
remember. For nearly sixteen years, he's lived in fear of someone
finding out the truth. While
Tom MacBride and his wife, quilt store owner Laurie, have consoled
themselves over losing the child, Ben, by making their home in Annapolis
a warm and generous one, Max has been traveling the world as a
recruiter for the USMC all the while using desperate means to keep the
truth about his son's identity a secret. When
Ben enrolls at CCS, the lies start to unravel. Why does Tom welcome
Ben, yet forbid him to date his daughter? Is Tom MacBride what he seems,
or did he do something terrible enough to arouse Max Hunter's violent
fury? Set
in modern day Annapolis, Laurie's quilt store is the heart of the
community portrayed in the book. Each chapter title is taken from a
quilt block name. Awards: The Maryland Writer's Association awarded Solomon's Puzzle their top prize for short fiction in 2010. Comments from readers: ..."Because I'm an Annapolis native and Solomon's Puzzle is
so full of sensory detail, the book reminded me of so many moments
living there, the boats, the color of the water, the chapel, the feel of
the air in the summer. I could actually find myself dreaming of driving
my old car along those uneven brick streets again." J. David green
consultant ..."I
never knew sewing could be so sexy...After reading this book I'll never
look at flannel or magnetically guided seams the same way. But
seriously, what makes Solomon's Puzzle such a page-turner is the
incredible depth of the characters. Every character is three
dimensional, and it is that detail that makes for such a tense,
enthralling read." Sam C. USNA class of 2008, pilot, reader Visit the website and read more: solomonspuzzle.com and check out the recent article in the Capital by clicking: http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/can/2010/11/19-37/form_weddings.html
