Joey is a young short-order cook working the graveyard shift at a New Jersey diner in 1968.  For Joey, the war in Vietnam might as well be a million miles away. That is, until the day his draft notice arrives.  

Suddenly, Joey is forced to decide where he stands.  What are we fighting for? Should his duty to his country outweigh his obligation to his dying mother?  Joey finds himself caught between the conflicting opinions of the diner’s regulars, a pirate radio station floating off the Jersey Shore and his own emerging beliefs.  Occurring within the stainless steel confines of the Castle Diner, Night Bird captures the essence of an era that challenged the status quo and spawned an ideological revolution.

  Michael Tanner has it all; outrageous wealth, any woman he wants and he’s a shoe-in as New Jersey’s next governor.  Why would a person with all of this going for him choose to hit the switch, setting in motion a series of events that bring on Armageddon? What force might compel a tycoon and political rising star to become a radical accomplice of fanatics determined to eradicate humankind for a greater good? Would a human-free Earth be a far better place? In The Wind demonstrates how Stockholm Syndrome and the power of suggestion can pry open vulnerability’s door, resulting in even a presumably secure leading citizen’s acceptance of bizarre beliefs and objectives. The reader will be left to decide; does the all-powerful Michael Tanner take on the convictions and intentions of others or does he finally become in touch with his true self?
