Another side of Rochester author Sean P. Dwyer is revealed with his new adventure book, Sometimes They Smile, celebrating the release on August 2nd at Record Archive. Through summer tales away from college, he invites readers to follow his pursuit to return to Southern Colorado cowboy country, where ole Dr. Bob waits with a barn to be built and stories to tell. On the edge of the high plains and the beginning of the Rockies, Sometimes They Smile is, at the least, a literary documentation of Dwyer's time away from the norms and amenities of modern life. Meanwhile, it digs at life's mysteries of truth, from travel and building in the new world to questioning human nature and exploring romance, all in an attempt to keep balance during an age of distraction and complexity. Seeking to retreat from the globalized tech-world of the 21st century, Dwyer the sojourner is at it again with this book's detailed account of his return to Silver Spurs Ranch.

Can strangers be trusted? To Accept a Wooden Nickel is a literary narrative of a young hitchhiker setting out to test an old fashioned (but now questionable) belief that people are good. Dwyer investigates society thru the lens of a young traveler with a 55-liter backpack and his acoustic bass guitar. One conversation at a time, the author documents his irregular patterns of life as a hitchhiker in 2015 as he travels from rural Colorado to the Deep South, attempting to prove that humanity still has something left to believe in. Past Reviews: "I thoroughly enjoyed learning the tricks and trials of this traveler with a positive attitude and the folks who encourage, or threaten, him along the way." "Makes you think twice about going outside of your comfort zone maybe it's not so bad after all." "There is a 'sitting around the campfire swapping stories' feeling to it that makes it fun to read. Well worth reading." "I was rendered useless until I finished it. It has everything a good novel needs: sacrifice, adventure, love, danger, and a journey of truth."
