Now a middle aged woman facing inevitable old age, Linda relishes reminiscing about her childhood and what people commonly refer to as the good old days. This is especially prevalent when she gets together with her siblings, and their now extended families. One particular Saturday afternoon’s visit to her mother’s townhouse, which is located on what was once the McDowell’s Farm, Linda is reminded of the events that transpired there when she was a young girl growing up in the sixties. Though at one time the farm was profitable and bustling with activity, by the time Linda’s family moved to the neighborhood, McDowell’s farm was overgrown and uncared for by a crotchety, old farmer and his kind hearted wife. This sets the backdrop for this whimsical and nostalgic tale which takes many unexpected twists and turns. Linda’s strained relationship with her older sister, Karen, does a complete 180 due to the fateful events that occur one fall afternoon in 1967, when they take a shortcut through McDowell’s farm on their way home from school. One wrong decision leads to a chain of events that one would never anticipate and takes the reader through a journey which is tragic and heartwarming.

About the Author
John Ireland was born into a garden of fantasies…the motion picture business. His father was an academy award nominated actor. His mother was a more private artist. Along the way, Ireland fell in love with words. He has written and produced movies for television, documentaries, and stage plays. His play "Johnny Morran" became a movie that he also directed. When Ireland turned to writing literary fiction, he found his muses in the crime movies of his childhood…with an added splash of French and Italian films from the sixties and seventies. Caught in conflicts of conscience, lost in the purple haze and red mist of sex and violence, often his characters aren't sure they're still alive until they run out of skin, and the ocean and sky are the blues.
Ireland describes himself as "Never an expert, always a student…interested in sports cars, firearms, 35mm photography, fine art (prefer the moderns), cooking, wristwatches, psychology, my own health, politics, the alto saxophone…whatever else in life that I trip over."
Ireland's new series of books, The Los Angeles Stories, is an anthology of eight human comedies and dramas, they are all rooted in the City of Angels. The time is the present. The characters are passengers heading to uncertain futures. The only technology that is important is the human heart.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When I wrote my first novel, EVIL WAYS, Sheriff Tom Myers was a secondary character. He wasn't the lead, but was important to the story. My second novel, DEADLY GAMES! took place in the same fictional town where I set Evil Ways. There was no plan to use the sheriff in the story, but the character kept chittering away in the back of my brain that this is where they should call the cops. So… Sheriff Myers and his deputies returned.
I thought that would be their last appearance, but like all good characters, Tom Myers would pop up every so often and remind me he was still around and ask when he was getting his own book. Eventually, a story popped into my head that was a good fit and Tom Myers and his deputies returned. I was surprised by the reaction to their first story and am currently working on a second Tom Myers Mystery. Fifteen years after his first appearance, Tom Myers gets his own series at last.
