Welcome...
and thanks for taking the time to drop by and visit my website!
In
2011, I released my first novel "Confessions of the Meek
& the Valiant." I often describe the book as "Catcher
in the Rye" meets "The Godfather" meets "Love
Story" and includes elements of intrigue, crime, romance,
mystery and suspense. I was overwhelmed by the response it received
and quickly went to work on a new book.
I
now present to you "Manisses," which I finished
this summer. "Manisses" is a historical tale that takes
place on a fictional island off the New England coast (that locals
will easily recognize as modern-day Block Island.) It includes
stories of pirates, rum-runners, witches, native maidens and a
host of other eccentric characters, all brought together by a
little girl's doll and an inconspicuous pile of rocks.
And
did I mention the girl's father is a spiritual medium?
It's
a little different, but it's fun. And I know you'll enjoy it.
Thank
You!
~
Steven R. Porter
