WORKS IN PROGRESS

 

Chapters of Past Forward are posted in the Blog section of this site. 

​

Iron is the working title of Book 2 of a novel currently in progress. It narrates the existential

 

angst of a human being in a world that grows too fast and rashly sweeps away all that is

 

familiar. Markos and Poghos leave their wives and children in a village in Armenia before the

 

Red Revolution to become contract workers at the steel mills in Gary, Indiana in the early

​

1900s. Their life paths change abruptly due to world events over which they have no control.

 

 

Waiting: Book 1 of a novel: a coming-of-age story of a young girl, Shushan, who is destined

to grow up and raise a family in Soviet Armenia at the dawn of Bolshevik Revolution through

World War 2. She dreams of the impossible: to join her father in America while the boy she loves,

Avet, embraces the Soviet ideology and has a vision of a better future for his people.
