    About this ebook

    Jeremiah Maynard, a Confederate veteran haunted by the carnage of the war and his own survival, continues to drift aimlessly westward but no matter how far he gets he can’t outdistance his memories. He is searching for purpose and a new start. He stops off in the frontier town of Shamrock, and finds himself elected Sheriff charged with maintaining the peace in a land that respects only the law out of the barrel of a gun. He faces many challenges, but to his surprise settles in and finds love and the peace he is looking for.
    The story is about the impact of Post Traumatic Stress on people’s lives and what it takes to deal with it. Obviously the American Civil War was a huge source of trauma, but any catastrophic event can also result in the same. The impact of war has always been known, but we are only becoming more aware of other, less cataclysmic sources of trauma. By juxtaposing the sources, the story highlights the similarities.

    BIO: Nearing retirement, I now have more time to devote to writing (and if I don’t, I squeeze the day until there is a space/time to crawl into). Over the past 15 years, I have worked on 15 books, three of which (of the Dreamcast series) are self-published.My website, http://www.PaulTelegdi.ca gives a full account of my life and accomplishments, which I shall not repeat here.The thumbnail version: I was born in Hungary; when young immigrated to Canada with my family, attended University of Waterloo, Ontario, where I met my wife. Spent years in West Germany where my wife was studying music while I was learning German. Returning to Canada, we ended up on a farm in Ontario with pets. Long-time married, I boast of three sons with talent and personality.Presently I am office manager of my wife’s private practice of psychology. I like kayaking and windsurfing. I belong to a number of writers’ groups, and often choose writing over sleeping. eBooks are an exciting new chapter in my life and I’m looking forward to the wider exposure.My motto: Want a better life? Then write it!
