My books: Becomes the Meaning Blossom

Rick Mallery7 Comments

BECOMES THE MEANING BLOSSOM is the third novel in my Meaning Blossom series, following BECOMES THE HAPPY MAN and BECOMES GOD’S SILENT PROPHET.

In this book, the man changes his future once again. He returns to the neutral land where as a young man he had fought in the war and was wounded and recovered from his wounds but did not fall in love. He returns to the neutral land as a man to fall in love. And he does.

As in the other Meaning Blossom books, the young man and the boy lead interrelated narratives that reveal more about the man’s life and the world in which he lives.

You can read the first chapter of BECOMES THE MEANING BLOSSOM on my website.

Or you can buy the book on Amazon.

My other novels will appear here now and then, so stay alert! In the mean time, enjoy the other items on this site.

My books: Becomes God’s Silent Prophet

Rick Mallery9 Comments

Becomes God’s Silent Prophet is my second novel, a continuation of the style and world of my first novel, Becomes the Happy Man.

In BECOMES GOD’S SILENT PROPHET, the man wakes up to find things are slightly different than they were in BECOMES THE HAPPY MAN. Those differences inspire the man to take a journey to find God. What is God? Why is the idea of God universal to the human experience while the particular expressions of God are so diverse in human culture? What does the distinction between a universal and a diverse God mean for a person’s belief in God? How does that belief change the way a person relates to other people? These are the questions for which the man seeks answers.

As in BECOMES THE HAPPY MAN, the man as a young man and the man as a boy also make appearances. The young man contemplates his experiences in the gathering of believers for the celebration of the supreme being, and he also learns to relate to one of the girls who lives and works in the house where the old woman lived before she died. The boy falls asleep and finds himself on a spaceship with an important task as dictated by someone claiming to be God. His arrival on a distant planet, and the completion of his task bring a surprise that not even the boy as a man could have anticipated.

Long before I started writing this blog, long before I caught the fever that induced my Reading Ulysses in Montana story series, I wrote several novels.

It has come to my attention that I have done too little to promote these novels, and as they are littered with enough craziness to suggest the nascent tendencies that would morph into Reading Ulysses in Montana, I have agreed to re-introduce them to you.

You can find the backstory to my first novel in the essay I’ve had on this site for some time called Writing a First Novel.

You can read the first chapter of Becomes the Happy Man on my website.

Or for the daring, you can buy the book sight-unseen on Amazon by clicking the following image.
