A Persistent Echo by Brian Kaufman

Brian Kaufman . Unknown Year . English

"Kaufman is a fantastic writer with a distinctive poetic touch... It will be the rare reader who will not be moved by this soulful, poignant novel." -Kirkus Reviews "It's a powerfully rendered novel that holds the rare ability to traverse genres to attract a wider audience of reader than the 'historical fiction' label portends." -Midwest Book Review 1897. August Simms-explorer, soldier, world traveler-returns to Rhome, Texas to chase one last adventure. Hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported, seven years before the Wright brother's initial flight, and August intends to solve the airship mystery. Instead, the past comes calling. A murder, a lynching, and the death of his wife fifteen years earlier are inextricably tied to the present, and the adventure August finds will not be the one he expects.

About the Author

I always thought I'd end up as a writer. By the time I was forty, I'd ridden a pro rodeo bull, jumped from a bungee tower, performed stand-up comedy, played heavy metal in several bands, married (twice), founded (and bankrupted) two restaurants and consumed a stunning amount of adult beverages. But I hadn't published a word. So, I left my job and went back to school, earning a creative writing degree from Colorado State University. Since then, I've published nine novels, a dozen textbooks and several e-book novellas. More on the way. Coming in August - "A Persistent Echo." Maxy Award finalist for Historical Fiction. Kirkus Reviews says, "Kaufman is a fantastic writer with a distinctive poetic touch."
