The Sound of Icicles Stabbing Birds: and other stories

Short stories of historical fiction: some reimagined family history, some that touch on man's inhumanity toward man (and woman), some that are significant "road trips" for the characters involved, some that expose racism and intolerance, a mirror of our heritage. A young man and a young woman find love despite diversity, and experience intolerance close to home. Two brothers emigrate from Sweden to start a new life, but both love the same woman. A soldier returning from the war to end all wars finds renewed conflict. A man's life begins and ends with a pushcart, love is lost. Ghastly murders prompt later investigation of the supernatural. Going to the gold rush involves an argonaut in the Indian problem. An epic road trip has dire consequences. A young white girl wants to help with the Civil Rights Movement and has a baptism of fire. Included are poems written by the author's wife as a memorial to a lost muse.
