Escape Media Publishers, a small press publisher providing readers thought-provoking literature, announces the publication of its fifth trade fiction title, A Winter Garden, by David A. Ross, due to be released February 16, 2003.

A Winter Garden, the fourth novel from author David A. Ross, explores one man's path from a life of dissociation and distraction in America to one of connection and wholeness in Greece.

Motivated to expatriate by guilt and remorse after helping to design guidance systems and smart bombs for the U.S. Military, Doran Seeger has lived the past decade in Europe. Wandering from country to country, he has encountered new societies and new ideas, yet after ten years abroad, he still struggles to appease his conscience.

Living in Prague and working as an underground art dealer, a chance encounter with the sister of his former lover persuades him to return to Greece, where a soceity that embraces real civility, not to mention a few idiosyncrasies, tenderly draws the habitual itinerant out of reticence and cynicism.

With his longtime friend Modestos Thromos at his side, Doran plants a winter garden; and as he patiently tills the Grecian soil, he reclaims his integrity, his sense of joy, and his humanity.

Poignant, earthy, rich in humor, honest, A Winter Garden is a seasonal harvest.

David A. Ross was born January 6, 1953 in Chicago, Illinois. He now resides and writes in Corfu, Greece. A Winter Garden is his fourth novel to date.
