In-Sight, the author's third book is a new-age, science fiction story about a dysfunctional time-traveler who is able to journey in and out of his own life, both past and present. This time-trekker is also able to "jump" into distant ancestry; descendents in the past and heirs to the future. The author has taken the popular concept of time traveling and added his own unique vision of cross-addiction, genealogical molding and familial balance. The reader will long remember the characters that weave in and out of time during the time-traveler's journey. A Zen-type approach to destiny, a Christian sensitivity towards forgiveness and a futuristic bent regarding time and space, combine to bring the reader headlong into an absorbing and harrowing tale of time-twists and family developments that will both haunt and fascinate.

Love Hurts is the first installment of the Love Rescue Me Trilogy. The three books are a Love story for our turbulent times. The stories are partially set in a downtown LA mission and various locales across Europe, Hawaii and the East and West coasts. These three book have homeless and crazy people, drug dealers, movie and rock stars, 9/11 survivors and Playboy Playmates in it. Lots of drugs, sex and Rock 'n Roll, addiction and redemption. In other words it's a typical John Stover book. The narrative tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers and their doomed attempts and eventual success in finding one another after almost forty years. This one is a real tear-jerkier.

In Love Scars, Book Two of The Love Rescue Me Trilogy, our anti-hero Jack St. Clair has become rich and divorced. He raises his spirited daughter Rosie St. Clair, as a single parent. Together the two St. Clair's discover their unusual bond when meet a mystical shaman on the island of Maui. Later, still on Maui, the pair witness an authentic Christmas miracle. On Sept 11, 2001, Jack is in a hostile meeting on the 39th Floor of the North Tower at the World Trade Center. Heeding the repressed advice of a proven psychic, he leaves his new partners behind and makes his way back to his hotel. For the next several years, Jack doesn't draw a sober breath. He ends up broke and hopeless at the Los Angeles Rescue Mission. Diane Dante, the love of his life, is on a ten city trip with her church, visiting various missions. Jack and Diane have been looking for each other for almost thirty-five years. After seeing Diane from across a crowded room, the newly sober Jack, is too overcome with shame and embarrassment to approach the very women he has been searching for all these years. Jack and Diane are finally reunited. Soon enough, they begin a charity called the We Are Family Foundation. And that, my friends, is where Book Three, Love Is All You Need begins.

In Love Is All You Need, Book Three of the Love Rescue Me Trilogy, we follow the ongoing adventures of Jack, the Saint, St. Clair and the Love of his life, Diane Dante.

In this book we meet Father Timothy Circe, A Jesuit priest who has been blinded during a botched exorcism. After losing his eyesight, Father Tim finds he is able to perform many inexplicable and miraculous faith healings. However, as is so often the case, this gift ultimately proves to be a curse. Father Tim's power becomes his eventual undoing. Love Is All You Need follows Father Tim and his mother, the beautiful and ambitious Willow Circe, Jack and Diane St. Clair, their children Rosie St. Clair and Dr. Emma du Barry as they make their way in an unforgiving but translucent world. We get to know Jack's long lost son Stone Will Walker, a chip of Jack's hard block. Stone Will is also a boxer and guitar player. We watch as Will is reunited with his mulatto son Freedom Walker and we watch Stone Will become the man (and father) he was always meant to be. We are introduced to Dr. Emma's rock star husband, 70's rocker Dusty Dukes, who introduces his staid wife to a new type of lifestyle, only to almost lose her in the process. We come to know Jack's childhood friend Daryl (Delo) Lorenzo and his transgender wife, Leigh Darling, In Book Three, Love Is All You Need, we follow the adventures of Jack's former protege: feisty widow, Dr. Jolene (Juliet) Jensen-Ames as she goes on a solo cross-country odyssey in search of her life's purpose. Along the way, Dr. Juliet meets a mysterious old man who teaches her the meaning of life. She also meets other unforgettable characters, as her own brand of sympathy and kindness affect all with whom she comes into contact. We meet Dr. Juliet's new love interest, the handsome and wholesome stutterer Adam Taylor. Adam is dying from an incurable cancer and is sorely in need of a miracle. Juliet and Adam marry and together along with Juliet's precocious daughter Dottie and Adam's impressionable son Cody, they become one big happy family. All these characters come together in the finale, a grand explosion of hubris, redemption, suicide, addiction, recovery, a miracle or two, and the joys of Love and child raising. Book Threee follows these characters as they attempt to make their way and do the right thing in a very confused and indifferent society. This book explores organized religion, faith, drug addiction, prescription medication, homelessness, recovery and many of the other issues that face us as a society today. http: //jstover6151.wix.com/johnstoverauthor
