New Releases by Dennis Lowery

A pocket collection of inspirational stories and thoughts. More David than Goliath, their size does not matter. Over two dozen short, powerful stories, personal essays and thoughts that are about: LIFE, LOVE, FAITH, DEATH, HONOR, CONFIDENCE, PERSPECTIVE, SELF-AWARENESS, SELF-DETERMINATION, APPRECIATION & GRATITUDE, COMPASSION & UNDERSTANDING

Many of my stories are about dual meaning: of the light and dark inside people, and of life when darkness and despair are conquered by bright hope and justice. Each exist to give sense to all we do and who we are as humans; we can''t have one without the other. NIGHT DESCENDS is a collection of those stories.

Through a Lens of Dark & Light: Two letters from dead women... A camera from a dead man... That''s what Robert Sterling, a once renowned photojournalist, had to guide him; to help him redeem and resurrect his life from two years lost in a drunken downward spiral. Was the young girl he could only see through the camera a ghost haunting him from a dead past or was she leading him towards a new future? Did she exist or was he going crazy just as his mother had forty years ago? To find out, he had to go back to the small town he''d left nearly four decades years ago... a place he''d forgotten full of memories he''d buried. To where, when he was 18 years old, someone had tried to kill him for what he''d done. To where he found and lost his first love... Union Station: She lived two lives... And faced one killer... Five days a week Elizabeth Holloway crossed the Great Hall through its morning setting of dark-to-light-to-dark again. Its vaulted skylight, above the enormous wooden benches, illumined some people and cast others in shadow. She wondered about those she saw in the same seat every day. Did those who sat in darkness have things to hide--as she did? She led two lives; one in the light, one in the dark. They started and ended at Union Station. It was 1943... dark times with a world at war... it was the kind of murder police didn''t put more than a token effort into investigating. When a friend is killed and Beth finds she''s next on the killer''s list she has to take things in her own hands. Despite the risk of her hidden life being revealed... she has to avenge her friend and defend herself.

Three powerful stories that touch on love and how it can drive you to revenge and retribution. And how it can be the one thing, when you have it, that you can count on. Love gives you courage to pay back those who hurt you; courage to stand up and fight back; and to redeem yourself. The Candle: What if you could give someone you love one more hour of life...? The passion of love bursting into flame is more powerful than death, stronger than the grave. Night Noises: The house creaked and then settled with a sigh. Night noises her grandma called them. "This old house is full of them so pay them no mind," she''d say. One piece of advice her grandma gave her she shouldn''t have listened to. The Ladies of the Pain: A young man, a visiting sailor, in a foreign land meets a lovely, mysterious, lady. She invites him to spend an evening with her... only he finds out it''s in haunted brothel!
