In addition to reading summaries, I should really stop and take a look at story genres, as well. For branching out into so many genres and sub-genres, this story is still rooted in enough reality that it doesn't feel jarring as we see different stages of Noonan's entire life flashing...shimmering before our eyes. Go on and read to find out if he makes the most of the curse...gift he was born with. You won't be disappointed.

Response from the author:

Thanks for the feedback. Always welcomed and appreciated.

This is a wonderful story about a man with the ability to see auras around people which can tell him whether they are well, sick, lying, or in danger.  He uses this knowledge in ways that are "inappropriate" when he is young to majorly assisting him in his work as a lawyer/politician.  Additionally, his talents lead him to unexpected jobs with interesting consequences.  Lee Wilson's ability to weave an interesting and gripping tale will keep an reader looking forward to the next paragraph, let alone a sequel.

Response from the author:

Appreciate the comments. I especially like the "ability to weave an interesting and gripping tale" piece. Thanks.

Another unique tale from the pen of @Lee Wilson. And for once, the majority of the "cast" are thoroughly likeable and law abiding, with only a relatively brief appearance by a psychopath.

One might be tempted to class it as a fantasy, after all, it features a highly principled lawyer who becomes an honest politician (clearly not a Republican), but it is so much more than that as it is steeped in reality, apart from the protagonist's "gift". 

Storytelling at its most entertaining. 

Response from the author:

Wonderful points. Obviously, a very different story that what you're all used to from me. Perhaps because of its long ago origination. Fantasy? Yes, in many ways even other than his being an honest politician!

We follow Avery, who has a unique ability. He can see auras, which change as he gets older.

You need to read on to discover what this means and how it affects Avery and his life.

A great read.

Response from the author:

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the completion of my first longish story. There will be more about the Noonan family in the future.

A story with some differing twists.  It is well worth reading as Avery learns more of human nature.  Sometimes what he learns is less than totally appealing, but the story does have great appeal.  Well worth reading.

Response from the author:

Thanks. So very glad people are enjoying this one.
