Fear Not The Fire
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and was one of the richest people in the world. He is well known as the benefactor who endowed the Nobel Prizes.
Money and fame could not buy success with his private passions. Fear Not The Fire tells of a complicated man whose love for an unattainable woman and failed quest for acclaim as a playwright left him better and lonely.
A combination of historical fact and conjecture, Nobel’s life story is also the story of man’s deadly pursuit of war machines and the money that was made in the chase.
The Year I Died
With Stage 4 liver disease, John Fleer was told by five physicians that he had six months to live. Fleer closed his law firm, gave away or sold most of his maternal possessions, and planned with his wife to make the transitions that would be required of them both. He received hospice care for almost a year …but inexplicably did not die.
This is a short memoir of a year spent learning how to die and, ultimately, learning how the prospect of death can teach a person how they want to live.
