KEEPER OF THE FLAME is a modern day Pilgrim's Progress. It is the story of one soul's spiritual quest that spans the centuries. Reincarnation is central to the story. From the narrator's first primordial human life on earth as Grunt, where he experiences the dawning of self-consciousness, through to his lifetime as Phaedrus, student of Pythagoras, to Samuel the Essene, when he studied the same secret teaching as Jesus Christ, to his lifetime as the infamous scoundrel of Paris, a black slave in southern Georgia, a dishonored textile baron in Genoa, Italy, to a self-exiled English aristocrat, the narrator completes his spiritual quest for his true self in his current lifetime. KEEPER OF THE FLAME opens the doors to the deepest mystery in life: What is man's relationship with God? The answer will surprise you!

"Open your heart to God's love and you will get all the respite you need. It is not that difficult. Whenever I was down in the dumps I prayed. You don't pray because it is not in you to beg God for help; but you can open your heart to God and let God's love pour into you. That is the way of the open heart. Here's what you do: think of all the times you loved, and let your heart fill with those memories. Think of one time, one moment of love, and just let the love fill your heart again; that's the exercise. It is your prayer. Don't ask for anything more, because God's love is all there is. I am always with you, my dear friend." Chapter 35: Padre Pio's Promise

Few writers have impacted writing like Ernest Hemingway, and My Writing Life is a personal account of the impact he had upon the author from the day he discovered him in high school. Not only does My Writing Life offer a unique insight into the art of writing, but into the complicated life of Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, and it dares to offer a psycho/literary perspective on Hemingway's complex personality and legendary suicide. A memoir like no other, My Writing Life sates the longing in one's soul that literature cannot satisfy, which Orest Stocco illustrates with the adventurous life and writing of Ernest "Papa" Hemingway.

I was going on twenty-four and living in Annecy, France when it happened: a soul moment so charged with energy that it changed the dynamic of my life...
