Good Read

, readers are drawn into the world of author Daniel J. Donoghue- from roadside bars filled with murky and tenuous sexuality, to the clogged medicine cabinets, empty morning kisses, and forlorn breakfast tables of suburban America. There is no place where Donoghue's cutting, descriptive prose cannot go, as there is no subject too taboo for it to dwell upon. Love, sex, lust, sorrow, mental illness, family life, military life, lives not worth living and lives not fully lived- each is explored with rigorous empathy and enduring compassion. From a world filled with contrasting hues, Donoghue creates a cohesive pallet, an impressionist's blend of colors highlighted with the hot spots where hearts bleed, and darkened with the low tones of lives and loves subdued. Readers will be amazed at the strength of the images that are so powerfully painted in Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, and will begin to see the colors of their own lives blooming, melding, fading, exploding
