Spears Odyssey follows
the exploits of a nineteen-year-old named Chris, who ventures out beyond the
familiar and enters the navy. After boot camp he is assigned to a navy
electronics school in Virginia. When Chris reports in, he learns he is
being transferred T.A.D. to the WWII destroyer U.S.S Spears, which
becomes the instrument of an odyssey from naiveté to maturity.
On his
months-long journey, he is schooled in the various aspects of shipboard life.
From fellow sailors, he learns about life in other regions of the United States.
He finally has his first, successful sexual encounter while in Scotland. Having
learned and discovered so much, Chris still remains unaware his most challenging
lesson is yet to come. Is he truly ready for it? The outcome awaits readers.

Flying Blind
Flight Officer–Service Pilot Roger Caron joined the army
air force even though he was too old to be drafted; flying was
the focus of his life. Earlier, he had met a young girl named
Lorraine, who worked her way into his heart.
Although he was married and loved his wife Lorraine very
much, his passion for aviation often kept them apart. This was
the case in the middle of World War II when he joined the army
air force and was sent to war in the China, Burma, and India
(CBI) theater of operations. It was just another separation of
many, made bearable because he would be flying—and flying was in
his blood.
After spending many months enduring the hazards of war,
life back home reached across the seas and grabbed Caron. His
wife Lorraine was gravely ill. After enduring the challenging
flight back to the U.S., his wife’s brother said that nothing
could be done for her. How can Caron move forward when all he
ever had was lost?
