Love Lies Bleeding, A Novel

by Robert K. Swisher Jr.

Frank, a Vietnam veteran, finds himself searching for an understanding of the war and his countrymen's reactions to that conflict. From prison, Frank sets off across the country and finds in various chance encounters the answers to his questions. From a Texas prison to the Veterans Memorial in Washington, this is a saga of self-discovery that is universal in its appeal. Robert K. Swisher Jr. has been a ranch foreman and a mountain guide. An individual who knows the outdoors and western history, he has successfully combined these interests in stories, poems and novels. He is also the author of "Fatal Destiny," "How Far the Mountain," "The Last Day in Paradise," "Only Magic," "The Last Narrow Gauge Train Robbery" and "The Land," all from Sunstone Press. Of "The Land," Publishers Weekly said: "If there were a category of historical romances written for men, this moving novel would fit the bill."
