A Door to New Worlds by FDSutherland, 2017, now available on Amazon Kindle.
Who knows how this all happened. It just did, and there’s no explaining it or understanding it. ELLIE and CHRIS SWENSON were chosen to make a fantastic journey into the American musical past, a journey that changed their lives forever.
Their journey, though, began with their great-great grandfather and his twin sister, chosen to make the same fantastic journey almost a century earlier, which leads one to wonder why these four individuals were chosen. They were all gifted and brilliant students of music. Like their ancestors, Ellie and Chris both showed early signs of extreme musical talent and interest, and, come to find out, all serious musicians make the same journey, a fact no one knows except those who have experienced it.

BASEBALL’S GREATEST SCANDAL
One of the most notorious scandals in American history comes to life in this new major league opera. The 1919 Chicago White Sox were arguably the best team in the game, but they were also the most poorly paid, always at odds with their penny-pinching owner. Resentment, revenge, and ambition gone awry motivate eight players to conspire with gamblers and fix the World Series. Featuring a lyrical, poetic score and legendary figures from baseball, The Fix is a tale of epic proportions about betting against the establishment, all set against the backdrop of America’s favorite pastime.
