Most people start their morning off with a cup of coffee; Jacob Will’s started with a funeral. And it went downhill from there, until it got better. Much better.
His best friend died, by his own hand, but not before leaving instructions on what Jacob needed to do with his life. And if he followed these, nothing would ever be the same. Thank God! Many miles will have been traveled before Jacob comes to understand there is life after death.
Eleven Little Deaths could best be described as Homer’s Odyssey meets Thelma and Louise, minus Louise. Or Jack Kerouac’s On the Road as re-imagined by Carl Hiaasen. Traveling across the country, Jacob realizes his issues are deeper and more plentiful than he thought, compounded and illuminated, sometimes maddeningly so, until he discovers what he’s been missing… a life.

Writer, author and photographer Bruce Meisterman is known for his non-fiction documentary book Arn? Narn. He has since turned to writing fiction. He has now written his second book of fiction The Light Inerrant.
All light, the sun, stars, electrical, and reflections, disappear only to return momentarily, again and again. Not surprisingly, fear spreads across the globe. It will take a dedicated group of scientists to discover light has become sentient. And that's not even the biggest surprise they'll encounter.
His first book of fiction A Coward's Guide to Living could best be described as Homer's Odyssey meets Thelma and Louise, minus Louise.
Most people start their mornings with a cup of coffee. Jacob Will's started with attending the funeral of his best friend. And in a letter left for him by the deceased, he was charged with getting his act together - big time. It would take him across the country into places he never thought of visiting, interacting with people for the first time in a genuine way, and finding and then losing love.
