Follow the fictional account of a family in the midst of a war-torn country as they struggle to survive and escape the bloodbath in Calico Dance: Escape to Sweden, an intriguing book written by Alton J. Myers.

Teacher and author Alton Myers writes a historical fiction of the 1967 upheaval in Detroit.

Sizzlin’ Summer Surprise takes us back to the country’s turbulent 1960s and shows vivid scenes of a graduate student’s eyewitness account during that summer’s riot. Though this may be historically relevant, the author is in no way assessing blame, reason, or outcome – except the changes that happened in his life because of that surprising summer.

Fiction this may be, the truth lies in its message --- as many lives of those who lived those days changed, so would the readers of this present age be. Be enthralled as you experience Myers’s Sizzlin’ Summer Surprise.
