    About this ebook

    The Lost Chronicles hits home with the teenage genius search for truth in all of us.

    Ernest Hemingway's first wife lost a suitcase full of prized manuscripts on a trip home from Paris. These missing stories were never to be seen again. Who knows what literary classics that suitcase may have contained?

    In the imagination of this author have been found those missing memoirs—a series of twelve exciting adventures, with more to come, found by way of "biographic fantasy noir." "The Lost Chronicles of Young Ernest Hemingway" unveil his earliest, most fascinating adventure stories, and monologues read like eaves-dropping while he unloads in his priest's confessional booth.The author imagines what the childhood and teenage life of Ernest Hemingway in Petoskey must have been like.

    This stylish series of young adult novels reveals literary merit, fine design, and strong kid-relevance. Filled with unbridled Victorian romance, adventure, betrayal, parent-sibling drama, and tribal temptations...

      Chapter 1: Out Of The Stink Pot

      Now-a-days when a boy is born into a family, he doesn't have to prove himself, nor does he have to qualify to meet a full set of high, unattainable standards. The family into which I was born was different.

      We were the Hemingways. In my parent's way of thinking, their children had to be perfect in every way.

      There was no other way but to achieve the highest of standards, and these ultra-high standards were set by them—the parents. Now, if you take a good look at that premise, and study it carefully, we kids were doomed!

      Us Hemingway kids learned at a very early age that our parents had set the bar way too high. I mean w-a-a-y too high! If social scientists and child psychologists eventually were to discover this situation, red flags would go up everywhere, but as kids, what did we know?

      The Hemingway kids were merely pawns dropped from the beak of some twisted stork, some very sadistic, mentally deranged stork.

      Mother Grace kept copious notes on each of us kids, intermingled with prodigious amounts of candid snapshots and side comments of the cutesy-pie nature, but they were all lies—boldfaced lies. Mother's scrap books were her attempt to document the perfect family, but they were her way of glossing over the truth and vindicating herself from any guilt. Somewhere deep beyond the pithy captions and witty statements, which accompanied her Kodak-captured moments lay the perfect formula for childhood suicide.

      Being the oldest son, I was the first to notice this strange phenomenon. Eventually we all would become so frustrated trying to measure up to our parent's impossible demands that we would all take our own lives.

      One day, as tradition would have it, Father lined us all up to be measured.

      Deftly, he went about intently scratching our growth marks into the soft pine of our Walloon cabin door jam.

      Those marks, along with our names and dates, can still be found in the cabin which probably will become a museum of the macabre one gray day.

      For some reason, this accurate scientific documentation was his twisted way of telling posterity that he was interested in our growth. But this one summer growth-etching day it all became abundantly clear to me. I gradually began to feel like a prized farm animal being readied for the Emmet County Fair.

      My parents would showcase us in our pens next to their big, blue-ribbons, and the following day our pictures would appear in the Petoskey News-Review as Doc and Grace Hemingway's prize winning, well
