About this ebook

Growing up anywhere doesn't always come easy. There are always those pesky bumps in the road! It was no different for the children living on Desrosiers Street in the old mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts. It was the 1960s and for all intents and purposes, the city hadn't changed much since the Depression years of decades earlier: there was still unemployment; rows of dingy, red brick factories lining the Merrimack River; and a kaleidoscope of nationalities from French to Greek. But nestled in the city's newer suburbs was an out of the way corner, a neighborhood of sunny streets, leafy trees, and wide open spaces. That's where Noel and Guy lived with their friends Polly, Jiff, Theo, and Don. That's where the story really began; the story of Noel and Guy. They were both dreamers and book lovers with a thirst for adventure and romance but were two people ever so mismatched? Noel liked poetry and the classics; Guy liked comic books and science fiction. Where Noel enjoyed being with people, Guy was a loner. Where Noel was popular, Guy was the original hard luck Charlie. Oil and water, they say, can't mix, but fate, it seemed, had other plans.

Comtois, and the forthcoming Autumnal Tales from Mythos Books. Comtois has also found the time to contribute non-fiction articles to such magazines as World War II, America’s Civil War, Wild West, and Military History, many of which were collected last year in Real Heroes, Real Battles, a book published by Sons of Liberty Press. Also from Sons of Liberty is River Muse: Stories of Lowell and the Merrimack Valley, to which Comtois has contributed a personal recollection entitled “I Was a Teenaged Bibliophile.” For more information about the author, visit www.pierrevcomtois.com
