2022 FINALIST:
ERIC HOFFER AWARD FOR FICTION,
THE FEATHERED QUILL AWARD FOR FICTION;
PENCRAFT AWARD FOR SATIRE & HUMOR
The search for the literary life. Satire at its Best!
In this indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time, two young people, Beckman and Malany set out on an odyssey to find meaning and reality in the artistic life, and in doing so unleash a barrage of humorous, unintended consequences.
Beckman and Malany's journey reflects the allegorical evolution of humanity from its primal state, represented by Beckman's dismal life as a dishwasher to the crude, medieval development of mankind in a pool hall, and then to the false but erudite veneer of sophistication of the academic world.
The world these protagonists live in is a world without love. It has every other variety of drive and emotion, but not love. Do they know it? Not yet. And they won't until they figure out why no birds sing here.
Meier's writing is precise and detailed, whether the situation he describes is clear or ambiguous.
Fans of Franzen and Salinger will find Meier to be another sharp, provocative writer of our time.

About the Author
A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, with a degree in History, Meier later pursued American Literature at the University of Maryland Graduate School. His life journey has been as dynamic as his writing, encompassing roles as a U.S. Navy veteran, flight instructor, FAA pilot examiner, and high school English and History teacher.
Meier's literary career spans decades, beginning in 1980 when he published a mystery/thriller under the pen name Vince Daniels. He has also contributed to aviation magazines and served as a journalist for the Washington Business Journal. After retiring from his role as an Aviation Safety Inspector with the FAA, Meier embraced writing full-time, crafting stories that captivate readers with their depth and authenticity.
