My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Mark R Anderson, author of the book Sage Among the Pines. Mark, a Fulton Books author, retired after thirty-five years of distinguished service in the Department of Defense and ten years, concurrently, as an officer in the United States Navy Reserve. He completed his most recent book, Sage Among the Pines.
A graduate of the University of Maryland and the National Intelligence University, Mark’s upbringing in a military family instilled a love for Travel and exploration, shaping his diverse perspectives and providing rich material for his creative works. Currently, the author resides in Pinehurst, North Carolina, with his wife and youngest daughter. In his spare time, Mark is an avid golfer at Pinehurst Country Club and enjoys filming book videos, alongside indulging in freshwater bass fishing across the Southeastern US.
In my book review, I stated that I was excited to read this book before it came out on the shelves. Tom and Cynthia, along with their daughter, Lexi, have a great life. Until. Tom makes a mistake. Cynthia can’t forgive him. No one tells Lexi what is going on. And then, without warning, Tom dies in a military training Exercise. As Cynthia spirals into Depression, her daughter spirals into adolescent rage. Only a sage among the pines, in the form of a grandfather-grandmother duo, can save them.
This is a healing journey – healing from loss and betrayal – as well as a forgiveness journey. It shows how complicated life can become, even when people truly love one another. I enjoyed Mark’s book because his characters are real. If you enjoy character-driven fiction, then this one is for you.
