Long Shadows at Noon is a short collection of poetry and prose that addresses the richness and tragedies of life. Life has its many rewards that are often overshadowed by the pace at which modern life has captured our minds, time and attention. The shortest and darkest day of the year is the winter solstice that occurs on the 21st of December. This dark period often seems to sneak up on us with little notice or warning and we find ourselves longing for more pleasant times. Often we reflect during the deepest days of darkness on how we let another year slip through our fingertips without enjoying the recently departed summer and autumn. Life is similar. During the dark periods of our lives we often look back at happier times and long for their return. During these dark days of the solstice and of life we must remember that each new day is a little brighter and warmer. Better times are ahead and life is far too sweet not to enjoy. Unlike other poetry books Long Shadows proceeds each poem with a short essay as to its nature and motivation for being written. Life, death, love and passion are addressed in various styles and forms. Both the simplicities and entanglements of living from a mans perspective are brought forth with an emphasis on taking a truthful and deep exploration of the soul.

The North Vietnamese Army has increased their cross-border attacks on American troops from their hidden jungle sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. Operating deep inside Laos and Cambodia, elite Green Beret Studies and Observation, or SOG, reconnaissance teams routinely infiltrate enemy strongholds to gather valuable intelligence on the NVA troop and equipment build-up. Longshadows is the riviting story of a six-man, SOG recon team led by Special Forces Sergeant Steve McShane. His team, comprised of one other American Green Beret and four indigenous mercenaries, discovers the existence of a Caucasian fighting alongside enemy NVA soldiers. Russian army advisor? Foreign mercenary? American deserter? A $10,000 reward has been offered to any SOG team capturing a Caucasian, dead or alive. Sergeant McShane must pit his intelligence, courage, and strength against a cunning enemy in a series of deadly clashes in the treacherous jungles of Laos. The compelling, bone chilling action of Kent White's novel, promises to both terrify and excite, wrapping the reader in a suspenseful web of intrigue. Inspired by actual events, Lonshadows is the saga of one man's obsession to learn the truth that lies behind enemy lines.
