Knowing (Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne) screenwriter Ryne Douglas Pearson brings a terrifying tale of dark forces to life in The Donzerly Light. Jay Grady wakes up in handcuffs. Sitting at a table in an isolated room. Across from him sits a man who wants Jay to recount his life. Every detail of it. If not, he’ll kill him. So begins Jay’s reluctant journey to a past he’s tried to forget. From his days ruling Wall Street as an impossibly intuitive stock picker, to just a few hours earlier, when he pumped six bullets into a transient outside a dying Missouri town. A drifter he’d once thought was just an ordinary man. But he was far from ordinary. And Jay came to realize he was not a man at all, but something darker. Something sinister. An evil he was destined to face.

A

n empty house. A bereaved father. Tormented by his loss, Ian Colmes has driven away everyone he loves. Now, consumed by guilt and longing, he begins to see his dead child again.

With a masterful hand, suspense newcomer Adam J Nicolai paints a picture of grief, madness, and the furious strength of a father’s love for his son.

Amazon readers are saying:

“Mr. Nicolai maintains a sense of creeping disquiet and uncertainty throughout the narrative; I was unsure whether Ian was haunted by his son or slowly going crazy until the last few pages of the novel.”
- Uncle Progress – 5 stars

“I … found myself marveling at how well-crafted many sentences are. I would find myself stopping and re-reading them, just so I could savor their beauty a little longer.”
- Basil Owen – 5 stars

“Mr. Nicolai uses language beautifully. He paints very vivid images in very few words and he does so brilliantly.” – Tifainé N. Highly – 5 stars

“Mr. Nicolai’s brutally straightforward prose and clear love for his characters… combine into something vital and hungry (like the early works of – dare I speak his name? – Stephen King).”
- Ryan J. Holthaus – 5 stars

“[O]ften it is easy to see why any given writer had to self publish (and often seemingly without any editor). That is definitely not the case here. The writing was intense, compelling and intelligent.”
- Beth C – 4 stars

“[T]he ending was nailed perfectly.”
- Jason Plowman – 5 stars

“For anyone who has been near people in the depths of horrific and insatiable grief, Ian’s hundred mile an hour flight into emotional and physical self-destruction rings true.”
- Shawna B. – 5 stars

“During the climax of the story my 1.5 year old daughter read my emotions and instinctively curled up in my arms and remained there [for the] rest of the book. This was not just a story for me – it was an experience.”
- Ben – 5 stars

“If Alex [is] a sign of things to come, keep your eyes on this author. You will not regret it.”
- Grace McDonough – 5 stars

Alex, by Adam J Nicolai. You will not sleep tonight.

The Man Who Left*************************

*************************

T

HE MAN WHO LEFT is a memoir about the importance of fathers. It’s about
the men who leave, and the men who stay.

It’s a familiar story. Father leaves his wife and children and never
looks back. Theresa Weir was five when her father left his family for a better
life with a wealthy socialite. Many years passed with only occasional and
grudging contact by Theresa’s father. When Theresa married into a successful
farm family, her father resurfaced, but she couldn’t help but be suspicious of
his awkward visits.

Years later, when the aging socialite dies and Theresa’s father is
diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, people expect Theresa to move to Florida to care
for him. A daughter’s duty.

This is Theresa’s personal story of a strained and painful
father/daughter relationship.

What does a daughter owe the father who abandoned her?

From the editor:

THE MAN WHO LEFT could be considered a companion to the stunning memoir
THE ORCHARD.
But where THE ORCHARD is a dark fairy tale, THE MAN WHO LEFT is
pure Middle American gothic, told in Theresa Weir’s unadorned yet richly
powerful and emotionally resonant style. A story about the burdens of
remembering and the costs of forgetting, THE MAN WHO LEFT poignantly chronicles
the emotional consequences of betrayal and abandonment by those who are
supposed to love us the most.

From the book:

I doubt I’ll ever forgive him.
It’s not in me to forgive him, but my own sense of humanity won’t let me
ignore him and his plight. This
would be easier if he were a stranger. Or, if I loved him. If he were a
stranger, I could help him without having to listen to stories that pierce my
heart, stories of a fabulous life that didn’t include his children. If I loved
him, I would swoop him up and carry him off to live with me.

Through the wall, I hear him shift in his bed, and I hear the jingle of
a dog collar, and I imagine the two Dalmatians curled beside him in the
king-sized bed. The walls are pale blue, covered in framed Irene Spencer
prints; soft images of mothers cuddling babies. Long white dressers with gold
trim are strewn with Eve’s ornate perfume bottles and tiered glass shelves of
jewelry. A floral spread covers my
father in oblivion, his shape undefined and fragile. He doesn’t know it, but he
is the man who broke us.
