The Hangman Cometh
Description
It's the 1870s in the state of Texas. James Fionnghall was sadly orphaned at an early age. As an adult, he first became a Southern Baptist Minister. Not long after, he became a Texas State hangman. James is a troubled man with a dark past who's on an intimate trek in search of righteousness. Although a devout Christian, he's criss-crossing Texas performing executions. He perceives he's attempting to lay bare his own brand of salvation. More and more, he struggles with the impression that his chosen occupations are morally diametrically opposed. Gradually, his vocations become overtly, inextricably entwined, pulling him into a deeply personal existential crisis.

Person
I love to write. I have been writing short stories and poems as a pastime for most of my life. It was not until I retired from my government position working with people with special needs that I was able to focus on writing full time. I have no doubt that working with special needs individuals served to make me a better person. This work helped foster in me a quest to search for a deeper understanding of just what it takes to be truly altruistic. Moreover, it instilled in me an obligation to become an advocate for those less fortunate. Hopefully this book will help demonstrate that the pursuit of spiritual truth is very important to an advancing mankind. I have degrees in psychology and sociology from the University of Calgary.
