Historical Fiction
Drawing on biographical and historical sources, Bessie reimagines the early life of Bess Myerson, who, in 1945 at age twenty-one, remarkably rises to become one of the most famous women in America. This intimate fictional portrait reveals the transformation of the nearly six-foot-tall, self-deprecating yet talented preteen into an exemplar of beauty, a peripheral quality in her world, where success is measured by intellectual attainment. Yet it is the focus on her beauty, and the secular world of pageantry, that she must choose to escape her roots and fulfill her fierce desire to achieve and become someone for whom great things happen. Bessie is a tender study of a bold young woman living at a precarious moment in our cultural history as she searches for love and acceptance, eager to make her mark on the world.
The media calls it a "miracle" when air charter pilot Will Stewart survives an aircraft in-flight breakup, but Will's miracle pales beside the stunning aftereffect of the crash. After waking in a hospital with no memory of the crash, Will finds himself experiencing a morphine-induced hallucination in which he is floating weightless six feet above the hospital bed, and his body has vanished. Things become even crazier when he deduces that it was not, in fact, a hallucination.
Barely on his feet again, Will begins carefully exploring and learning to control his ability to vanish, and the potentially dangerous way in which gravity ceases to have an effect on him in the vanished state. In the midst of all this, an NTSB and FAA investigation into the crash threatens to end his career as a pilot, and worse--Will and his police sergeant wife Andy must race to rescue an innocent child from a heinous abduction.
Will penetrates the dark world of urban gangs in the opioid trade while struggling to control a fantastic tool for justice--and praying it doesn't kill him first.
DIVISIBLE MAN is a page-turning thriller laced with humor and heart told from a perspective seen only in your wildest dreams.
When the Essex County "Wedding of the Century" erupts in gunfire, a random shooting sends Will and Andy Stewart after a criminal element no one could have foreseen. A grisly discovery turns their pursuit into a mission to avenge innocent lives lost. Will explores the extraordinary aftereffect of surviving a devastating airplane crash - his ability to vanish - while Andy works a case obstructed by powerful people wielding the sinister influence of unlimited money in politics.
DIVISIBLE MAN - THE SIXTH PAWN takes you on a wild ride that pits Will, Andy and Essex County's best pilot, Pidge, against a murderer with a permanent perfect alibi. Gripping, yet spiced with humor, THE SIXTH PAWN proves that payback can be a beautiful bitch.
Author Howard Seaborne writes, flies airplanes and helicopters, and takes you on a twisted path in this, the second DIVISIBLE MAN novel.
