The Yellow Jeep - Stories And Songs

Joel Vernon Smith invites you to watch while life unfolds for entities well never meet, in settings far from our day-to-day locales.  Each character is someone we once loved.  Or we wish we could have loved.  Or perhaps we seek merely to understand her.

 A sensitive teen takes his dads memory for a ride in a new four-wheel-drive in Michigans Upper Peninsula.  A married couple shares a traumatic memory of a decaying barn.  A passionate duo learns that their ship is doomed.  A wealthy college student argues with his girlfriend when a draft notice arrives.  A mentally-troubled elderly woman claims a friendship with a man of smoke.  Frightful demons force a man to do a dark tunnel-dance in front of a stalled bus.

The author of The Rapists bids you to explore the lives of mostly-gentle human beings as they deal with feelings of love or the arrival of unexpected horror.  If its true (as a late-sixties song suggests) that words of love wont win a girls heart anymore, perhaps the reader should open this book and take a journey to somewhere shes never been before.

The ride will be exciting.
