Velvet Sky, self-published
in May 2002, was a further result of that self imposed period as Rusty
abandoned college and life in general to try and put his life back together.
Living in denial had finally caught up with him and he was forced to
confront his past head on. His novel depicts life in a small southern town
(Good Hope) as seen through the eyes of four children. Most of it
could pass as an autobiography thinly disguised as fiction. The book would
later be rewritten and released in March 2006 under the altered title
Beneath the Velvet Skies. The 1980's were spent reading the
great writers of the day such as Steven King, Eudora Welty, William
Faulkner, Kahil Gibran, Robert Fulgum, Willie Morris and Jeffery Archer and
exploring the burgeoning world of desktop computers. In 1984, Rusty decided
to put down roots and set up house in Madison County on St. Augustine Road.
23 years later we can still find him there... minus the long hair, the brown
locks now grayish white. In the late 90s Mr. Reeves completed
Revealing the Covenant, a medical thriller dealing with
embryonic stem cells. The book was published in October 2003. BIO Continued page 3... |
