La Moille resident and photographer Hal Adkins has announced the publication of his first completed novel, entitled, “A Week and a Day.”

This work of fiction involves mystery, with layers of fantasy, science fiction, history, nostalgia, and humor. The plot revolves around a World War II airman who suddenly and inexplicably finds himself away from war and home in more ways than one.

Circumstances force him to rely on two strangers to help in unraveling the mystery and finding his way back. Several characters cross their path as they trek for days, over 1,000 miles in an antique car, searching for answers and a resolution.

After contemplating for a few years on a “what if?” scenario involving a subject matter he found intriguing and considering what a thought-provoking story it might be, Adkins eventually developed a way to work the story into a mystery. The writing process began shortly afterward.

Following a creation period, which took over four years, the project was completed and is now available on Amazon in paperback and ebook, with the paperback version available in limited numbers from the author.

A preview video was also created by the author and is available for viewing on YouTube.
