Reviews for If I Could Sleep by Alex B.Stone Patricia Anaya, Co-Founder, Aztlan Prize: "I have had the privilege of reading the work of Alex [Stone] for a number of years and have always admired his language usage, vocabulary, knowledge of art and human nature and many other aspects of the writing endeavor. "I am delighted that the Red Heifer Press has accepted this novel for publication. Alex is a master of dialogue, his characters are authentic and his plot structure not only believable but intriguing. I love Fred [the protagonist of If I Could Sleep]. What a depiction of a sensitive soul bearing with the impositions of family and friends. The underlying message is so true to the quiet desperation so many people have to live with when other people try to take control of their lives."

If I Could Sleep

Literature & Fiction

Stone, Alex B.

Contemporary

Red Heifer Pr

With these two short novels, Alex B. Stone demonstrates again the wry humor and compassion that have won admirers for earlier works such as If I Could Sleep (Red Heifer Press). Though the background is Jewish, the sensibility is universal. In SUMMER OF OPPORTUNITY, Harry Apple, a failed multimedia artist from New York, might feel out of place in Midwestern academia except for two facts: his college's sleek president, Pamela Millson, is on the make for him, and the foundation he's been asked to head has two million dollars plus nice artwork nobody is watching closely. Harry Apple's mother didn't raise a stupid son. In INDIAN SUMMER, Phil Weiss is lured home to the Midwest by aging parents who don't seem to notice they're driving him up the wall. By the author of Tales frm the Prayer House.

The memoirs, candid to a point, of Benny Roone, an investigator with a good Jewish kup. We follow his professional career from pulling a Russian nuclear expert out of Europe to gathering evidence in a war crimes case, then observe his uneasy retirement. Are murdered poultry and stolen art enough to keep Benny Roone busy? Or will he finally write his memoirs? If he does, will he admit to helping an Israeli spy walk off with American weapons technology?

<p>A small Midwestern Jewish congregation struggles to find ten members for morning prayers in these wise and funny vignettes by the author of If I Could Sleep and Summer.

Tales from the Prayer House

On idyllic Sanibel Island, Florida, a retired military investigator sets himself up as a consultant in other people's troubles--and oh, does he find troubles! A dead Chinese man in a freezer. A mystery writer looking for ways to murder a burdensome parent. A middle-aged art curator with designs on an old man's collection--if not on his life. Business as usual for sleuth Benny Roone means more questions than answers.

Shades of Benny Roone

<p>When Bill Schnell's uncle dies in London, the young executor takes on more of an assignment than he expected. Besides Uncle George's collection of American modern art, Bill finds a secret trove of German Expressionist work of--as they say in the art game--dubious provenance. Unfortunately, the same might be said of George's business partners, whose blunt demands for money lead Bill to wonder if his uncle's death was really an accident.</p>
