The Epiphany of Regret is explores cause and affect, in the aftermath of a school shooting; the impact it has on those who are peripheral to the event: parents, of the victim and the accused, the teacher who was witness, and the news reporter who examines the case to understand the underlying motivations. Each have a secret, each have a back story that escalates their behavior and the complexities beyond the initial crime itself.
The Epiphany of Regret
In the School of Affliction is a narrative fiction that spans the reigns of James II through that of George I, covering not only the life of the English author; but much of the political and literary controversy of the times. This was an Age of notable scribblers and notable deceivers; a time marked by persecution, injustice, rebellion, political strife, war, and rampant crime. An age when speaking one’s mind could bring a stand in the pillory, or in Newgate prison--or even a challenge by sword. Daniel Defoe experienced all of these, even before penning his fist classic piece of literature at the tender age of sixty.
