The latest in the Hugh Holiday Series. Check out the newest release: When Even God Can’t Find the Way Home: The Custodians and the Watchers.

Hugh Holiday is stuck on a Penrose Stairs, every step cut from Hell. He forges ahead on his impossible staircase; he gets nowhere. His stuttering is severe, his only friend’s a dog, he barely makes ends meet, and his dream of medical school has morphed into an air castle. And now he is wanted for the murder of a medical school professor. And hunted by a hit man. Not bad for a twenty-three-year-old. Check out his first release in the series:  Hugh Holiday.
