Falls the Apple

The Family O'Connor

by JAMES CHARLES ADAMS- Author

At 45, Liam O’Connor’s in the family way. A man befuddled by women and afraid of commitment, he seems an unlikely candidate for his first real relationship, and even more unlikely as a first-time father—but here he is.  You might say it’s Liam’s rebirth moment, but he’s breech.  Falls the Apple—The Family O’Connor is a twenty-year saga, a wild ride punctuated by Liam’s relationship with that baby aptly named Maeve (“she who intoxicates” or “she who rules”), as she grows into a precocious, headstrong young woman who stands toe to toe with her father and gives as good as she gets.

​

But Falls the Apple is far more than just a father-daughter tale.  It plumbs the depths of family identity, including the tug and pull of biological versus chosen relationships, and the intersection of business and friendship in day-to-day life and in the crises that inevitably interrupt our lives.   ​​​

The Road to Imagination

My Forty-One Day Journey in Verse

James Charles Adams made a deal with the devil when he entered law school. A free thinker immersed in the arts as an undergraduate, he resisted the notion of “thinking like a lawyer” until he realized that concept was a prerequisite to being a lawyer. Years later, when he set out to write his first novel, the devil came to collect on that deal by blocking his imagination. Adams knew it would take a mighty struggle to break the spell, but devised a cunning plan to restore his creativity, challenging himself to write one poem a day until the devil walked away shaking his head. Adams departed the Crossroads on the Road to Imagination without looking back.
