The Selfish Act
By: Rosen
Trevithick
Kindle Edition $0.99 now FREE
Written in response to Jeremy Clarkson's
remarks about the selfish nature of suicide on railway lines, "The Selfish
Act" is a short story that paints a more insightful portrait of the mind
of a suicidal person.
Morwenna has a very satisfying life, but she's plagued by an undiagnosed mental health problem that she refers to as, "Too many thoughts."
When she wakes up the morning after her engagement party, feeling disconnected from the world, her despair drives her to a railway bridge. She finds herself trapped between the reality of phone calls from loved ones and the alternative universe painted by desperate depression.
Please note: This is a political response, intended to contribute to the debate about whether or not suicide is selfish. If you want to be entertained, another title by Rosen Trevithick might be more appropriate.

The Memory Songbook
By: Douglas
Glenn Clark
Kindle Edition $3.69 now FREE
At 17 … Frank
didn’t think he had a past.
Then he found himself chasing his forgetful, wandering grandfather into the 1950s, the 1940s and as far back as the days of gas lamps and folksinger Leadbelly. It was then, confronted with poignant family revelations and one great song, that young Frank began to realize who he really was.
At 50 … Frank doesn’t believe he has a future.
Then, on the verge of restoring his singer-songwriter career, he is called home to assist his aging mother who suffers from memory loss and other ailments. Like many baby boomers, he wants to be there for his parent … and yet feels helpless.
But while cleaning, he discovers a manuscript he wrote after one mind-bending day in the Summer of Love. It was the day he discovered the powerful music-memory connection: songs have the power to bring back the memories and feelings that have shaped the best moments of our lives.
Desperate to reach his mother before she slips away … and yearning for the awe music once inspired in him … Frank works through his own personal songbook in search of who he was — and who he still might become.
The Memory Songbook shifts between the winter and summer of singer-songwriter Frank Gosnell’s life. It is what Midwest Book Review contributor Shirley Priscilla Johnson calls “… a cry from one generation to another …”
This pop-culture fiction is suitable for adult and Young Adult readers. It blends first love, Classic Rock, and poignant family revelations with … magic realism … guitar gods … Woodstock … and war.
