Dandelion Man | 1 comments Dandelion Man the four loves

A grand tour of love in and around the city of Detroit in the late 60’s and early 70’s from a Catholic perspective.

You have no doubt heard one of the many reviews and blog posts about the erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey. Not interested in that type of novel? There are decidedly Catholic alternatives; tender and funny romance novels. “Dandelion Man – the four loves” is one of those novels.

C. S. Lewis used the four Greek words to categorize love. Each type of love exists separate yet often together with the others in a complex interconnected framework. DANDELION MAN takes the reader on a grand tour of love set in and around the city of Detroit during the late 60’s and early 70’s, a time of the Age of Aquarius and free love. But don’t expect all that, this is the Eros side of love not the Venus.

Wally arrives at the funeral of the father of his first love where he meets dee once again after forty years greeting her with a kiss on the forehead. Dee introduces her dear friend Wally to her twenty something daughter, Corinne. They get to chatting and the daughter recognizes him from bits and pieces of stories her mom shared with her growing up. “Oh, my god, you’re dandelion man” she exclaims. Anxious to learn what her mother was like as a teenager, the two make plans to meet for dinner where the protagonist reminisces about his first love and provides the daughter insights into a unique facet of her mom.

DANDELION MAN is a 46,000 word fictional romp that delights in the four loves and the difficult decisions that crop up in relationships. Similar to the C. S. Lewis novels, this story has strong undertones of Catholic values.

The author, W. M. J. Kreucher is new to the business of writing fiction. In a previous life, He has ghost written for Senators and Congressman mostly on environmental issues and has written pieces of legislation and regulation. Now he is trying his hand at fiction. I know what you’re thinking, writing for politicians is fiction. At least now he is calling it what it is.

DANDELION MAN is available in paperback or electronic form on Amazon and through the Kindle store.
