SAVING MOSES is a timeless story based on a summer adventure in 1961 when myself and three best friends, pre-teens all, set out to capture an alligator in a local, South Miami, Florida canal. In those early years, the town of Perrine, where we all lived, was surrounded by scrub forest and a newly constructed canal, all part of our world beyond the neighborhood.
The story that became Saving Moses had been in the back of my mind for too many years to not put pen to paper. After self-publishing my first novel, a sci-fi story, I launched into fleshing out the tale of my youth, mixing fiction with actual events that include our discovery of a large alligator in the canal where we swam. From my project's start, I focused on capturing the innocence of youth in a time when the out-of-doors was our playground and friendship, loyalty and a belief anything was possible shaped our dreams and schemes.
Saving Moses is a frame story that opens with the youngest of my four boys, Milton Marshal (Milty), now an elderly man, returning to his childhood community seeking redemption for a long ago tragedy. Accompanied by his daughter and her two children, his description of those long-ago years and escapades with his three best friends takes his family and the reader back to a summer of change for all four boys, more so, Milty. Frame story format maintains a connection with the main character's revelations and musings as an elderly man while highlighting his growing internal struggle with a past he finds impossible to reconcile.
The story's final chapter introduces two of Milty's three childhood friends who arrive for a long overdue reunion, unaware of their friend's emotional battle. Old times of mischief and memories of the old alligator they had named Moses overwhelm Milty. In an upwelling of regret and guilt, he confesses to causing the tragedy and how it has haunted him ever since. Taken aback by Milty's lifetime of misplaced remorse, his two childhood companions reveal their own viewpoints of that day's events, undeniable confirmation to Milty of his innocence and gifting him the merciful redemption he had sought.

Acerca del autor
Steven A. Twitty is an American writer who spent his formative years in South Miami, Florida and since then has worked as a cowhand on his parents' Tennessee farm, built a log cabin from scratch and graduated with a BA in biology from the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga. He later joined an international snack company with two year assignments in Singapore, Venezuela, Australia, Ecuador and China. For the past thirty-five years he has lived in Thailand with his Thai wife. He has one daughter and two grandchildren.
Steve has no formal education in fiction writing which, he admits, has at times been like walking a crooked mile with blinders. He spends his time writing novels, traveling and sailing. He is published in multiple genre; Sci-Fi, Literary Fiction, Women's Fiction and Cozy Mystery. His philosophy in life is best described through a quote from the journalist and writer, Hunter S. Thompson: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW! what a ride!".

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
