Alpine author issues new book

Alpine County novelist Bill Morgan has produced a new work, named "To The Virgins," which is available at Amazon.com.

Written under Morgan's pen name, Wade Morgan, the book is about Glen MacLeod, a man who becomes immersed in a box of letters, he'd written to a friend when he was serving in the U.S. Army during the 1950s.

"This book is different. It's called an epistolary novel and it's told through a series of letters," Morgan said.

The letters tell of the adventures he and his friend had while they were in the service.

It's a portrait of military life written to a friend who stayed behind and attended college.

This is the third book Morgan has written.

He also has a suspense novel called "Six Days in Siberia" and a short story collection called "The Captain and The Ice Queen and Other Stories," all available from Amazon.com.

Morgan has written columns for The Record-Courier over the past two and a half years, since a group of Alpine County writers took over for Alpine Portfolio columnist Gina Gigli.
