About the Book

CAST AWAY STONES takes place on the prairies of north Iowa in the late 1970s, on the brink of what would later become the Farm Crisis. Frederick Heinold, a young farmer, is struggling to harvest his crops, unaware that his wife, JoAnn, has begun an affair with a questionable stranger from Florida that will eventually threaten their marriage and the only life Frederick has ever known. These personal dramas take place against a background of wrenching change as the traditional farming that Frederick seeks to preserve is threatened by the onslaught of agribusiness, personified by his aggressive neighbor, Eldon Mathews. As the novel moves toward its conclusion, dirt, desire and drugs converge upon these characters, transforming their lives forever.
About the Author: Author Richard Schinnow began this story-his first attempt at a novel after writing several film scripts-while living in Texas in 1982. It's been revised numerous times and has collected its share of rejection slips, so he's happy to see it finally in print. Like many writers, he's held numerous jobs... bar owner, commercial fisherman, diver, founder of the Iowa Independent Film Festival, as well as twenty years spent teaching writing at North Iowa Area Community College in Mason City.
