The Fallen Autumn

The Fallen Autumn-Book 2 in the series of The Birth of a Vagabond-follows up on the shatter and bottoming-out of the trials and errors portrayed in The Broken Summer with a journey that begins with bare feet and moonbeams down in the American Heartland, but soon heads over and up to the Pacific coastline, rivers, and small mountain towns of Oregon-and then back again to the southern reaches of the Great Plains.

Here, the vagabond's odyssey takes a gradual turn into the bittersweetness of the holiday season-as well as the early stages of a good father's rapid decline-as the astronomical year winds down to its longest-night. Yet another beginning to a couple of looming endings. Endings that will have to find their way through to another beginning of a new year.

This book leads into Book 3: The Hidden Winter that will be out later in 2025. The series is intended to launch a larger book series titled: A Vagabond at Large.
