Ten Interlocking Campfire Tales Spanning Three Generations of Scouts
Junior Jackson, Jr, is the Scoutmaster of Troop 27 in Mabry, North Carolina. Some consider the Troop, which was founded by his father Junior Senior, to be doomed. Over a span of forty years the Scouts encounter demons – real and imagined, many self-imposed – that earn the Troop its reputation. Find a comfortable log near the fire, shield your eyes from the swirling smoke, and listen closely as the Scoutmaster spins his yarns.

“These stories could be the mutant offspring of Stephen King and Stranger Things.”

A story of family and self discovery inspired by the fiction of Richard Ford and Pat Conroy.
Jack Callany, recently widowed, is now seeking to understand, and then rebuild, himself. Jack's wife passes away unexpectedly only days before the COVID-19 lockdowns. Jack and his teen son and daughter are forced to cope with their grief in isolation, but Jack's good nature and playful pranks help the family endure these shocks. As Jack's son returns to college and his daughter prepares to leave for college, Jack is forced to examine himself and decide who he will be in the next phase of his life.
"The best book I've read this year by a wide margin."
—Sanjay Sarma, MIT Professor, author of Grasp
"Readers seeking contemporary middle-age novels that move beyond the obvious to probe the moments and maturity of individuals still steeped in life and learning will find The Incompleteness Theorem a welcome journey."
