{What's On Your Kindle?} MICHAEL MEYER ON TRIANGLE OF HOPE
He has resided in and has visited many places in the world, all of which have contributed in some way to his own published writing. He has literally traveled throughout the world, on numerous occasions. He has lived in Finland, Germany, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. He gained the wanderlust to see the world, to experience other cultures, at an early age, and this desire has never left him. If anything, it has only gained in intensity as he has aged.
Among the many unique things that have happened to him in his world travels, he has walked the streets of Istanbul with a detective, searching for a pickpocket who got him good. He has ridden on the back of a motorcycle in Tehran while the driver, who spoke not one word of English, pointed out all the sights to him. He has wrestled an Iranian soldier who tried to break into his hotel room in Tehran. He has had the paint completely stripped from his car as he drove across Saudi Arabia in a sandstorm. He has stood on the stage of a busy nightclub in Tokyo, singing “She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain When She Comes” to an audience feeling no pain from the Sake they were drinking. He has been chased by a family of mongooses (yes, that is the correct spelling) on the idyllic Caribbean island of St. Croix. And that is just the beginning of his long list of worldly adventures.
As a recent retiree from a forty-year career as a professor of writing, he now lives in Southern California wine country with his wife, Kitty, and their two adorable rescue cats.
His latest book is the contemporary fiction, Triangle of Hope.

What was the inspiration
behind writing your contemporary literary fiction, Triangle of Hope? What
sparked the initial idea?
A couple of years after my wife died of leukemia, I wanted to write a book in
her honor. The despair felt by Clint Westerly at the beginning of the book was
my despair. His idea to take out all of his savings and travel the world has
been a fantasy of mine. The uplifting ending at the end of the book when the
three strangers are able to inject a huge positive change in the world was
exactly what I personally needed.
Can you tell us more about the three strangers?
Clint Westerly blames himself for the death of his wife, though he was in no
way responsible. Tanya Wilshire, broke and depressed, has to figure out a way
to fulfill her mother's dying wish. Seamus Harrington, in Ireland, has been the
small town's pariah for way too many years. In their chance meeting, together,
as their story goes viral throughout the internet, the three strangers are able
to inspire people globally.
Which part of your book definitely has the wow factor?
The very second that Clint and Tanya become aware of Seamus' misfortune the power
of three becomes an invincible force.
How do you want your readers to come away after reading your
book?
f want people see that sheer determination of just a small group of people can
bring about hope in even the most hopeless of circumstances.
