about me

I have written and had privately published two books: SECOND SON & PRIDES CROSSING. I am retired (from advertising), ( college 2 years) .
SECOND SON asks the question: What would you do if your older brother began calling himself the Son of God? The novel explores Christ's brother James' unique perspective on Christ's private and public life.
James recounts his experiences, first as a doubter, finally as a believer.
SECOND SON is a "you are there" pilgramage that enables the reader to understand Christ more fully. All profits from this book will be donated to St. Jud'es Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

PRIDES CROSSING is both a murder mystery and a family saga, set in Newport, RI, exploring four generations into the past with the help of his great-grandfather's journal and Nancy, a local reporter. Hal Rothbury is the first person narrator who discovers many things about his family and himself both good and bad, in the course of his investigation.
If you decide to look them up I hope I hear from you. Edith DonDero

favourite books

My favorite author is Dick Francis. I've read all his stories and have written both my books in the first person, giving the reader a true emotional account of the procedings.

Comment by Richard Allen - with his permission, sent on July 21, 2009
Hi Edie,
This is a well-researched, fascinating perspective on the life of Jesus. The introduction of the narrator was brilliant. James provides a metaphor to show the depth of despair all Christians must have experienced when their savior was crucified.

This work has significant commercial value particularly in the U.S. There are publishing houses that only deal with this genre and have the backing of every Christian bookseller in America – a powerful force. St. Judes Children's Research Hospital in Memphis will be the winner and you will shine in their light.

Shelved based on the author’s credentials and the tremendous potential of this wonderful novel.



 

Prides Crossing

Edith DonDero

"Human bones were discovered on your property!"
Whose bones?
Hal's search brings him to the reality of his sister Jenny's "man with no face".


Hal's father and his Uncle Robert both disappeared when Hal was young. Is one of them buried on the estate? Hal works to solve the mystery with help from his great-grandfather Peter's newly discovered journal.

Mean Arnie, a violent, hateful cousin, and Jenny, Hal's slightly retarded sister, both seem to have something to do with the problem. Mean Arnie wants a share of the estate, threatening disaster if he doesn't receive it. Jenny is disturbed by the sudden reappearance of her worst nightmare, "the man with no face." Hal's grandmother also comes to his assistance, revealing family secrets she never wanted to talk about.

The entire process uncovers hidden facts meant never to be exposed.

To tell the truth, I don't know what to say about your book. Considering its place in the standings you must be doing something right. I read most of the comments and agree with all of them -- good writing, interesting premise, awkward sentences, the lot, even with those who said this is usually not... view book

Dear Rob, Thanks again for you insightful comments on Second Son. I have only one problem. I don't understand your remark about James having some concept of Gehenna or Scheol = surprise at Yehsua' being referred to in the present tense. Do you mean when the stranger says, "Who IS your brother?" ... view book

Dear Neal, a great improvement. Now well worth reading. Of course I do have a few suggestions - all meant to be helpful, not to criticise. ...woman's voice said, "You should be ashamed of yourself.

Dear Martin, I'm taking you at your word, that you'd like help with this exciting book . I've taken the liberty of re-writing the first chapter, keeping in mind that a thriller should be related in short, tight sentences. = The door bell rang. Who can that be at this hour?
