Author of Markman's Home, Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr., has created characters as memorable as any in the realm of magic realism. Set in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1976, the writer recounts what-ifs with spectacular scenes in a rail yard, through hidden tunnels, and in old abandoned buildings. From the beginning when a visitor from another world pops up in a downtown Louisville ad agency, until the spectacular finale, the action ratchets up at a dizzying rate.

In his latest novel, Markman's Cave, Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. draws us into the further adventures of the humans Marna, Elan, and Martin as they leave their home in the village of Tenlakes.

Fasten your seatbelts for another amazing adventure from the pen of Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. Bringing together characters that rival the Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins, or Voldemort, the author takes us with them on a fantastic space journey.

"But how do I get in?" The narrator asks himself, just as Alice did before she followed the White Rabbit. In a similar land of magical realism, Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. sets up an escapade in "a long thicket of trees separating two sloping farm fields". We hike with Tony beyond a fallen fence with twists of old barbed wire wrapping into the tree bark of the forest perimeter. Encountering "Buddha-like" images, muscular snakes that grasp at his clothing, and rotting fruits from Hedge Apple trees, Tony ventures further into the unknown forest.
