The cold February air passes through Devin’s coat and chills him to the very bone. He sits huddled with two other men on a flat car carrying machinery. They’re crouched behind a large slab of metal in an attempt to block the wintry wind, but it does little good. Well, at least it’s not snowing. The whipping wind and the clacking of the steel wheels upon the steel tracks preclude conversation.
Devin hugs himself tightly as the countryside slides by. The bare, leafless trees stand as silent sentinels in fields of snow, patiently awaiting spring. Here and there, a lonely cow or horse stares at the train as it passes. But none of that makes the slightest impression on Devin. He’s thinking back to the boardinghouse and the last time he spoke with Mary Callahan.

When does this book become available, Andrew?
Keep ’em coming
Maybe.
I’ll bet that conversation was one worth remembering. Super excerpt.
Thanks, John.
Captivating! I can see it and feel it!
Thanks, Chuck. Don’t worry. I’ll be banging on your door three seconds after it goes on sale, begging you to buy it.
Thanks. What I said below to Ms. Peach goes for you, too. I just hope that I’ve conveyed that sense of seeing and feeling throughout the rest of the book.
Sounds like another winner, Andrew! I’ve read three of your books recently and reviewed them, Ellis and the Huck Finn books. All were thoroughly enjoyable! Best of luck with this too!
Thanks so much for reading my books and for taking the time to write a review, I appreciate it. (The review for RESOLUTION on Amazon is still up, but for some reason Amazon took down your other reviews.)
I wonder why? I can put them back up if I can find them on Goodreads. 🙂
It couldn’t hurt to try (at least I think not). Maybe they took them down because they found out about our secret romance and they don’t let friends review books.

Having read all your books to date And having had the priveledge to have read Mahoney In my honest opinion it is your best so far It is an undeniably exciting page turner With allthe Andrew Joyce magic . . . A book to make you want to start reading again as you come to its end!
