The Ghostwriter’s Legacy
The third book of The Ghostwriter Series and the conclusion of The Words, beginning with the Creator’s long, long march toward immortality, while also telling the story of SAMMY FRY, who adopted his great-grandfather’s last name.
Sammy discovers a copy of his great-grandfather’s book, The Words – An Autobiography, on a bookcase shelf of his great-grandfather’s office when he was six – far too young, according to his Grannie Annie, who promptly confiscated the book. Sammy’s great-grandfather shrugs, retrieves it from his wife, and signs the copy, inscribing it (‘To my Great-grandson, Sammy, Dream big and believe in yourself. You can be whatever you want to be.’)
Noticing the first signs of wear, Sammy sets aside his precious, original, signed, and inscribed copy of his great-grandfather’s book. By the time he reaches high school, he has read the book, from cover to cover, enough times to wear out multiple inexpensive paperback and second-hand copies. Despite his Great-grandfather’s claims to the contrary, Sammy believes that The Words might contain the much-sought formula for the legendary Fountain of Youth.
Some years later, now in college, Sammy hopes to convince EVE, a young woman he’s known since grade school, to read The Words and hopefully join his fanciful pursuit. Eve, who’d wanted nothing to do with Sammy, from grade school through high school, to the degree of joining the rest of their classmates in calling Sammy ‘Sperm,’ because of the white hoodie he’d insisted on wearing. Eve initially accuses Sammy of stalking her when they encounter one another on campus, discovering to her dismay that they’ve enrolled in the same university.
Eve, however, begins to see Sammy differently when she learns that, while she is merely a freshman, Sammy has been accepted directly into an elite PhD program. Together, as inconceivable as that once would have been, they become a couple and begin following the footsteps of the Creator and His Wife in pursuit of the same, disregarding the advice of Sammy’s great-grandfather that it was only a story, fiction, the product of an old man’s imagination.
