Gregory Stout, author released “Connor’s War” on July 29th. Greg who is a finalist for a Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America, and the featured artist of the Missouri Arts Council has announced the Book release of “Connor’s War” on July 29th.
The novel is based in the Vietnam era about a 15 year old boy who faces being shipped off the remotest part of the Kansas flat land. “How do leave all you friends from a sophisticated San Francisco area High School and even being a Navy brat, this exile to the flatlands will not have a good outcome” asks Greg. Greg weaves the story around the fact that Connor, the protagonist, has a father who is a US Navy Commander who is shot down in Vietnam and is missing-in-action, whose fate is unknown and a young boy whose Mother as a US Navy Officer in Nursing is transferred to Japan for her medical expertise. Is Connor safe traveling alone on a passenger train to a small town in Kansas? Connor headed into the unknown to live with an unknown grandfather, who is a circuit court judge.
This novel addresses some common issues that teenagers face such as separation anxiety, death and young love, problems, which are a common issue amongst military families. Greg said “I wrote the book because I felt there weren’t enough young adult male books that dealt with real life controversies.”

For a while, the blueprint for a serious wellness trip looked pretty much the same everywhere. A flight to somewhere warm, a resort with a view of jungle or terraced rice paddies, a treatment menu borrowing names from ancient traditions, and enough linen to last a lifetime. Scotland was never really part of that picture. It was the place people went for whisky, castles and rain, not the place they went to reset. Then this summer, Scotland’s men’s football team appeared at their first World Cup...
