Dreams and fears can last a lifetime. They can become interchangeable: the fear of never attaining the dream and the dream of overcoming an intimate fear. The Swings At Balfour is a light, amusing drama about both and the prospect of never finding either.At a private, all-girls high school located in the northeastern part of the United States, as far away from a hostile environment as Pluto is from Earth, the Deans, the staff, and the students do, and are expected to, march to a different beat through the process of understanding the strength of the curriculum as well as the fragile weaknesses of themselves. Perhaps, those are interchangeable, too.For one of the Deans of the school and for one of the students, a dream and a fear are found to be the same when they meet, co-exist in a challenging, poignant and often humorous struggle, and finally collide in an uplifting story of their search to find both at the swings at Balfour.The Fall term is about to begin and classes are in session.

Jo Machine is uniquely uncommon and dissimilar to what you've ever experienced before.

Except for a 1962 primrose Cadillac convertible, disgraced and discredited Pulitzer Prize winning author, Antonio Delgado, has virtually lost everything, and on the edge of losing himself. He suffers bereavement and pain, strife and turmoil, misery and defeat in the depths of hopelessness from which he, himself, created. His wife is dead, his daughter is estranged, and he's without a hint of credibility and any redemptive horizon. What happens to a man like that? Antonio Delgado is about to find out At no fault of his own, unexpectedly, perhaps ironically, he encounters a tragic line that should never be crossed, yet too often is, in his former chosen genre that once took him down the thousand mile road to the horizon, and to the top of his game: A mass shooting

The enigmatic, simplistic Jo Machine is in an extreme quandary Well, that is, for her.She is suddenly trapped in a conspiracy that threatens the national security of the United States and she can't reveal what she knows to those upon whom she trusts and relies. If that isn't enough, Machine encounters some very different characters, two to whom she can easily relate, and another two whose origins are far beyond her comprehension.And if that isn't enough, Machine is getting a strange, one word signal in her Core, "companion," from an unknown entity.This isn't good In the words of those characters to whom she can relate, "Oolikomic jalla goo "
