GUILT & CONSEQUENCES is an Illustrated Novel of Psychological Suspense. It is formatted as "An Illustrated Movie" with each Chapter containing original "realistic" drawings (approximately 100 throughout the book), each encased within sprocketed motion picture frames, so that the reading experience is an amalgam of words and images that lend visual motion to time, place and characters. PLOT: A 12-year-old boy's father unexpectedly collapses and dies at a party given at their home in celebration of his advancement at his company. The boy's lucid dreaming provokes feelings of guilt that he is somehow responsible for his father's untimely passing, particularly because of a brief altercation bedtween them, had earlier at the party. It is summer and his Uncle Joe, a psychiatrist (his mother's older brother), suggests they use his summer cabin in the Poconos as a respite to escape and relax during this difficult time. To make bad matters worse, this initial trauma is followed by a heinous, unspeakable crime, leading us to suspect additional characters in this small town setting. Along the way, however, even deeper secrets unveil themselves in a daisy chain of shared life-long secrets and denials and their accompanying consequences.
