Toms River, NJ Author Publishes Coming-Of-Age Novel

Linda Orken: A Novel, a new book by Edward Michael Turrian, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Robby Birdsall is a near teen-ager growing up in Lower Brook in 1971. With some sass and ingenuity, Robby experiences his first feelings of sexual awareness, new found attraction, and a summer long endeavor of earning money to purchase sneakers to emulate his favorite basketball star, Clyde Frazier. With his cast of old friends, new friends, and antagonizing older sister Tammy, Robby's journey is at times lighthearted, at times comedic, and at times a heartfelt experience.
