Böcker av Ricky Dale

A ménage à trois mini saga between infatuation and love... another virtually true story from the pen of Ricky Dale."A gorgeous treat of a story that deserves to be savoured long after you have closed the cover."

The true story of flesh and blood individuals laid to rest in the tobacco fields of Erie County, or floating down the Niagara river. It is a mesmerising tale about somewhat ordinary people doing extraordinary things in a quite ordinary way! True stories within a story unfurl in this beautiful and often amusing account of a curiously powerful and changing love that refuses to be quashed or compromised. In this, his sixth book, novelist, poet and former singer, Ricky Dale, surpasses all mainstream 'stick-in-the-mud' writing and takes the reader to where you haven't been a thousand times before."If anyone can evoke both the psychological depths and surface mannerisms in all of his many characters, it is Ricky Dale."- Walter Parks Thatcher"I am positive that anyone who begins to read this book will quickly fall under its spell and find some kind of kinship with many of its characters. Therein lies much of the book's charm."- C.Foster, NY Inquirer

A uniquely personal insight into the fact-based account of Dahlia Carriera and Sandra Comanescu.

"Who. After all. Knows who we really are or where we are going?We are all, in a way, carried onwards by a greyhound bus" ...Third in the Limberlost Trilogy, this prequel focuses on the early life of Kim, the beginning of her journey and the people who played a significant role in her early years.

Done to death by deadlines and other peoples clocks, I took several decades to think about this book before I finally had the frame of mind to write it. I am confident that the end result is nearer now to whatever you my proponents have wanted and 'they' my protagonists have expected. In any event, even if I could I wouldn't have written it in any other way. Limberlost II is the second of a trilogy. That said, it is not a collection; it is but one single thought: of how an all-encompassing passion will endure through several lifetimes. This particular book is an essential amplification of the first book and the crucial beginning of what I'll write next time around.

The scene is set in Southern Ontario during the emergence of the l960's. In the format of purposely brief chapters, the theme unfolds a narrative of events which search and expose the tangled emotional alterations of a virtuoso who desperately yearns to bring her austere demons to rest. The result is an explicit non-cliché colour portrait of devouring pathos and perverse humour; which correlate and blend a relationship of semi-autobiographical sequences with semi-fiction. From the onset the twists and turns of her life will promise the effect of a compelling and curious realism of empathy; that will captivate, enthral and follow the heart of even the most casual reader.
