A Stranger in the Mist (Paperback)

A Stranger in the Mist is an uplifting tale of heaven and earth, love and friendship, the genesis of a rapturous blessing for humankind, and the diabolical forces that are compelled to stop it. Jenny Stark is the manager of a travel agency. Emmett Zimmerman Monet, nicknamed Easy Money in a takeoff of his initials and name, is a fi refi ghter. These complete strangers walk separate avenues through life, but each is cognizant of abnormal incidents in their daily routines. The threat of harm escalates whenever their paths angle toward convergence. They both suspect a spiritual thread behind the events in their lives. Jenny consults a minister who develops a theory: Her course is littered with the footprints of angels, but she has also drawn the ire of fallen angels, known as demons. Once Jenny and Easy meet, they have a distant memory of a profound friendship- as if they knew each other in another time, another place. Their coupling erupts into a love that is true blue, heartbeat red, and passionately pink.
Bill Denton is married, a proud father of two adult children who live "a stone's throw" from their family's homestead, and the grandfather of four precious granddaughters whom he sees daily. His close-knit family life, his business, his writing, and a cluster of lifelong friends consume his time-with the exception of an occasional bass fishing trip. He resides in Virginia and is the majority stockholder in an Electronic System Integration firm. Denton developed the curriculum for an adult education Practical Electricity course. He wrote and illustrated its study manual and student workbook, and then taught the course for six and a half years. He is the original author of a document titled The Standards of Apprenticeship, which was certified and accepted without dissent by the Department of Labor for the Central Virginia Electrical Contractors Association. In 2005, he won first place in a 3,000-word writing contest for the greater Richmond area. Later that year, he placed second in the fiction category of the prestigious Virginia Writers Club statewide contest. He has written two novels, one 178-page as-yet-unpublished cookbook, and is currently writing a collection of children's short stories titled Popa Time.
