PRIZE WINNER - NATIONAL WRITERS BOOK CLUB. BLUE FIRE is a story of loss, search, a journey across time, continents, deserts, mountains, and seas. It begins as a child's simple game, with clear rules, moving to encounter life's later games with more riddles than rules. Along the way emergency "Red Blankets" await in hospital corridors; night bombardments flash across black horizons like shattered sunsets; and a butterfly hovers above an 8000 ft snow-covered peak... At times reality may blur at the edges, but continues on to journey's end, to the fire within us. Maybe at the very end, it is a very simple thing that moves us all.
