Bryan's writing

The Dreaming Highway (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated 28 days ago, 09:11PM
description: The Dreaming Highway is a mainstream novel of 54,000 words that tells the story of Seth, a seminary student who has lost his faith. Seth would be Agnostic all together if not for a bizarre recurring dream involving his first love from nearly a decade ago and an open Interstate road. After seeing a charismatic dream specialist and taking the dream advice literally, Seth begins a physical and spiritual journey unlike anything he has ever imagined. Along the way, he is accompanied by his gay brother Silas, a Jewish seminary dropout named Rebekah, and a neurotic priest named Wiley (who happens to be able to predict the future...sometimes). Together, the four journeys collide as Seth follows clues from his dream to track down the lover he never got over.
The Minutemen of Overland Park, KS (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated 06/02/2008 08:27PM
description: Mikey Burns is as predictable as they come. A banker who jumps at his own shadow, he is unquestionably committed to his career, his marriage, and his own schedule (down to the last second). When his new boss - an egomaniac who is downsizing left and right - threatens to fire him, Mikey snaps and begins - along with a small group of other professionals - a string of bank robberies in the Kansas City area. Here are the first three pages of the novel I am currently writing. I hope you enjoy them.
Tulsa, Transmission, and a Long Night with Marilyn Monroe (Humor)
