While Drifting: Selected Works of W. M. J. Kreucher
Experience a journey from Topinabee to Topsail through the pages of " WHILE DRIFTING ," a collection of novels written by W. M. J. Kreucher. This captivating collection will take you through coming-of-age stories, romantic encounters, and a December-December love affair.
The collection begins with " Dandelion Man—the four loves ," the first story, which Mary Cowper from the Midwest Book Review called "enticing with a dedication to a very different era… well worth considering for general fiction collections." The Catholic Fiction website described the story as "both powerful and interesting." It is the first of "The McMichael Trilogy," with the lovable Diane McMichael as the protagonist.
The second story, " Pharmaceutical ," offers a bit of political intrigue and a good conspiracy theory, according to Karen Kelly Boyce, the 2012 recipient of the Eric Hoffer Gold Award in Fiction. Boyce also said about the author, "…we may have a Catholic 'Robin Cook'."
The collection continues with " Heaven Sent " and " The Inn at Heron's Bay ," The first story set in Northern Michigan and the second is a novella set in coastal North Carolina in a small town with the delightfully descriptive name of Topsail.
The last part of the journey, " Roses in December ", is a poignant story of a man with Alzheimer's and his companion.

W. M. J. Kreucher writes cozy mysteries, thrillers, suspense, and coming-of-age romance with heart and depth. A Detroit native from the city’s vibrant west side, he spent over three decades in the automotive industry championing environmental initiatives—focusing on clean fuels and vehicle fuel economy.
Behind the scenes, he provided technical support to lawmakers, ghostwrote for members of Congress, and helped shape key legislation and regulations.

Drawing from a lifetime of experience, sharp observation, and quiet wit, his stories explore the intricacies of human connection, the pull of the past, and the secrets that lie just beneath the surface.
