About the Book

Young Paul Bradley's life seems carefree. He fishes, invents a better rabbit trap, sings his heart out in church, and romps the Appalachian woods with his pals. His family is supportive, his mother kind. But a head injury compels the boy to write obsessively. His secret journal reveals struggles with truth, sin, and lies. He writes of unsettling behavior of adults, tries to tell God what needs fixing, and wrestles with growing suspicions of church teachings.By the time Paul is sixteen, his preacher-father is still his hero. But Paul is angry. Why do I have to leave my school, girlfriend, and pals? Why move again? His father is evasive, demands obedience, and forces him to submission. Paul wishes him dead. Crammed in the family car, Paul watches as his father drives alone in the moving van ahead, accelerates, veers and plunges headlong off the Yadkin River bridge."A 1950's Huckleberry Finn joins Holden Caulfield in a humorous yet poignant reverse mystery."
About the Author: Raised a son of a rural Appalachian preacher, Arthur Crummer earned a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, and a Ph.D. in mathematics at The University of Florida. He is the current president of Writers Alliance of Gainesville, WAG. (www.writersAlliance.org) His writing prior to 2005 was all technical. "Wrestling God" is his first published full novel. For recreation, Art designs Sudoku puzzles, and enjoys dancing and proving theorems in topology. He gardens, keeps chickens and bees, teaches guitar and Dobro, enjoys woodworking, and writes poetry, songs, and fiction. He performs in his band at state-wide festivals, has won numerous first place ribbons in music competitions, and has led music workshops since 1995 (Dobro, slide guitar, flat-pick and finger-style guitar, and gospel singing). Art was awarded the prestigious Edward Flemming, Jr. award in 2008 for excellence in, and the promotion of, Old-Time music. Art lives in Gainesville, Florida with his wife Mary, and regularly returns to the Piedmont region of Western N.C., the locale of Book 1 (Wrestling God) of his two-book trilogy, "Fixing Things." If he writes Book 3, the third half of this sequence, the metafictional aspect of life's boundaries may manifest more explicitly.
