The Great Way

by Gregory Schulze

Overview

Omaha. There it lay across the river. Looking across that river was like looking at another world. Katherine died there. That's why James had traveled so far. No one else would come, not even her parents. Hell, James thought, they probably didn't even know that she died.
James has traveled from Maryland to Omaha, the gateway to the western frontier, to seek answers about the death of the one he loved. Searching deep for answers, James finds that there is more going on than the simple death of a young woman. Encapsulated in the machinations of men, James meets an Indian from his past who sets him along his Great Way.

About the Author

Greg Schulze is from Shoreview, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. He graduated from Mounds View High School in 1989 and the University of Minnesota, St. Paul campus with a degree in Forest Resources.
Greg's first novel, "The Great Way", took two years to complete. After reading one too many novels that were too long, not interesting enough, and stuffed with filler just to increase the novel's word count, he thought that "I can do better" and decided to write a short novel. Believing that every sentence should spark the reader's imagination or further the plot of the story, Greg set ahead to write a novel inspired by the TV show "Lost", the movie "Donnie Darko", and Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse 5". He called it "The Great Way" in which the archetypical young man travels to a new land and discovers something more about himself and his life, but in a different way that is new and fresh.
Greg is currently working on two more novels, each one different than the other. "A Scolding of Crows", co-written with his friend Kevin Helander, is a fictional autobiography inspired by humorous and absurd writers such as Vonnegut. The second is a fantasy novel titled "The Anarch", inspired by Greg's thirty plus years of playing Dungeons & Dragons and the stories that he shared with his friends and fellow players.
Greg lives in Centerville, Minnesota with his wife of 10 years, Wendy, and his 8 year old son Andrew, who promised to read "The Great Way" someday.

Editorial Reviews

I really enjoyed this book. A wild card choice, but once I started reading I found myself looking forward to the next time I could sit down and continue reading. There is no fluff here. This book moves right along and I felt rewarded at every turn. The quaint, rustic setting is comfortable. There are universal human themes and elements of natural spirituality that speak to me. The characters are accessible. The symbolism, whether implied or inferred, adds a layer of interest.
