The Tower by Ian Stuart

A fatherless teenager gets his very own hero in Captain Moss Sinclair when the man flies his brand new Ford Tri-Motor onto Clarkstown’s rarely-used airfield. Will the town welcome him and his ideas? Can Frank find the father-figure he sorely needs? (Literary)

Editor’s Note: A great instance of first-person narrative, this. And a fantastic group-character study in only a few thousand words that drew me in and kept me there from the first to the last. Please welcome author Ian Stuart making his The Deepening debute with The Tower. —womblin
