Paul Tick's New Novel "Letters" Considers the Morality of Suicide, its Effect on Those Left Behind, and Wonders if Things Are as Simple as They Seem
Recent release "Letters" from Page Publishing author Paul Tick begins at the end of the happy marriage between Alan and Elizabeth, whose decision to take their own lives in a joint suicide causes their family to wonder if, despite all the letters, if there was something more to their decision that meets the eye.
CORNING, N.Y., March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Paul Tick, a retired researcher with thirty-two years of experience writing scientific papers, has transitioned away from his left brain and into his right with his new book "Letters": a novel whose storyline is centered around letters written for friends and family members that attempt to detail a couple's seemingly straight-forward simultaneous suicide—but leave their daughter, Caitlin. and others, more confused than comforted.
"While working at Corning Inc., I wrote all these scientific papers, until eventually I decided that these skills might be applied elsewhere," Tick described his development as an author. "So, I embarked upon a second calling: writing fiction."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Paul Tick's somber tale poses questions about familial relationships, and asks readers to explore not only the lives unfolding on the pages, but their own situations as well—a difficult task for a work of fiction.
"The transition [from science writing] was not an easy one, and was perhaps one of the most difficult challenges I ever faced," Tick continued. "The end result was my first novel, 'Letters'."
As readers go through the letters that are the final goodbyes of Alan and Elizabeth, whose forty year marriage never left anyone questioning their happiness, the other characters are left wondering if there were clues they missed, if perhaps everything—even the letters themselves—were lies.
Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase "Letters" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
