It should take Tommy only eight hours to get home by Greyhound. But when he listens to a mad man giving a tip on a sure thing, listens to the words of wisdom of a haiku reciting frog, and listens to an eccentric billionaire about a marriage proposal, then the eight hour trip turns into a life changing journey. Some want to know if Tommy is crazy enough to be locked up, but his heart tells him he is just crazy in love. A little juju can protect him from River Ratz, but it’s going to take a miracle to give him back his peace of mind.

Tommy in the Wilderness is the second novel in the Tommy trilogy. Tommy finds himself lost in the wilderness. To find his way out and cross over to the other side, he can’t rely on his trailer to take him there because it’s jacked up on blocks. He has to watch his step in this desert wilderness since poisonous snakes and scorpions crawl about while over promising and under delivering. Tommy can read the writing on the wall, “HERE WE KNOW HOW TO RESURRECT WHAT OTHERS THROW AWAY,” but he doesn’t know what it means. He carries a compass called “faith” to point the general direction to his destination. Like manna falling from heaven, he is provided with all he needs for his journey of transformation, including a loving woman with a man’s name, who drives him to the edge of the promised land.

Tommy in the Promised Land is the third novel in the Tommy trilogy. Tommy finds himself on the banks of Jordan Street, wondering how many miracles a door-to-door peddler can expect in his lifetime. He has been knocking on the door for so long his knuckles are beginning to bleed. A Chinese proverb says that a thousand mile journey begins with a single step, but he is only twelve steps away from reaching the promised land. One day at a time, he learns the truth of the archer’s paradox: he won’t hit the target he is aiming at. He also learns that sometimes love has to go away and return because that is where it belongs and will not find rest anywhere else. Some folks think God’s messengers, angels, have big, white wings. Tommy thinks they can have the wings of a sparrow.
