“Road to Angel City”, is a novel that covers the decades between the early sixties through the present following the experiences of a young man, (Joshua Cain) who graduates from a South Texas high school and sets out to see why things seem so ‘fake’ and shallow in the world. He is not a documentarian so much as a dreamer and poet who sees vivid beauty everywhere he looks and is excited at the chance to explore his suspicions – and learn his lessons along the way.

He favors no one side or group – but looks for truth, (or lies), courage and beauty in all things and individual people he encounters on the often painful road leading through countries around the world.

Understanding the nature of truth underlying the whole of life is his quest. Traditional disciplines and doctrines hold no more interest for him than standard interpretations of success. All seem hollow to him and he rejects them in favor of finding something yet undiscovered beneath it all.

His uniquely timeless approach to living and thinking – and his strange reliance on intuition and faith above all other motives – lead him to an extraordinary path of discovery, depth and revelation about the nature of truth, war, peace and human society.

Angel City becomes a vision of an enlightened future where world peace and good will come to rule the afflicted human heart.

I don’t have a website yet so I’m not sure where to post my novel, “Road To Angel City”. I’m working on it, though. I’m the guy who wrote the screenplay for the movie about the ‘Texas Slave Ranch” case, called, “Mountain Home”, before I left to move out here. I’d like to share what It’s about and maybe I’ll find a place here to do that. I also wrote a sample speech for a presidential candidate that I doubt any of them will use since it focuses on peace. Anyway, thanks for your response and I hope to see you or Willie soon. Adios.
