Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow? - A Reluctant White Knight novel - Volume 1
Reviewed By: Editorial Board, The Columbia Review of Books & Films 1/13/2015

"Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?" by T.W. Anderson is the first in the "A Reluctant White Knight" series. It combines the best ingredients of the "Texas Rangers" genre fiction, but with highly contemporary suspense, which is further enriched with themes of green energy, aviation and technology.

The lead character, Tom Rowter, is a solid anti-hero, a toned-down version of Clint Eastwood at his best. He tells the story in the first person, matter of fact, no hype or showoff (well, maybe a reserved touch of bravado…). He's cool, aggressive (or even deadly, when necessary), and delivers it all with humor. He clearly has a big heart, which carries a good chunk of pain and guilt, and he can handle a gun. In other words, he's a good character, someone you would definitely want to spend more time with, literarily speaking.

The story moves along at a fast pace with a good balance of action, dialogue, and internal thoughts and observations. The author, T.W. Anderson, clearly possesses a great deal of experience (or have done extensive research) on life in Texas, ranching, police work, green technology, nuclear energy, firearms, and-the most challenging to write about credibly-flying.

In summary, "Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?" by T.W. Anderson is an intense story, never a dull moment, setting the stage for a promising series featuring the "Reluctant White Knight." The novel delivers on the promise to keep you entertained throughout. You'll feel the hero's frustrations and pains, as well as his triumphs and, last but not least, his love for Texas. In short, with plenty of action, suspense, and a hearty dose of good old romance, you'll definitely enjoy it.

We look forward to the next installment in the series.

Terrance W Anderson, or "T.W." as he prefers to be called, has over five decades of senior business management experience. When he can get away both he and his wife love to travel or idle around and fish the area's surrounding lakes in their boat. T.W. has also been an avid pilot since youth and holds a number of advanced pilot ratings.

T.W.'s writing was born out of a frustration with the lack, at the time, of Christian authors writing modern, relatable suspense and romance novels. It seemed like all the best selling books had language in them that not only offended him, but he was embarrassed that the person beside him glancing over his shoulder might also be offended by it.

On one long business trip, while relaxing beside the inlet at Marina Del Rey he dug out his laptop and started typing out notes about his past aviation and life experiences. That led him to start adding a measure of "What if" to the writings. Before long he had a story line in mind and Tom Rowter came alive on the pages of the "A Reluctant White Knight" novel series. Being of retirement age himself, the author makes his books hero of a similar age thusly giving us an adventure and romance from a mature individual, and then couple's point of view. Many readers, tired of reading about the limitless energy of some young stud and his vixen, will be able to relate to the aches, pains and limitations of this series' hero and heroine having a few years on them, yet being truly in love.

T.W. tries to show his characters as true to real life as possible. His main characters may be courageous but they aren't super heroes. They have their weaknesses and failures like we all do and they reflect his personal faith and Christian beliefs. The action and problems that come to life in the pages are right out of everyday events. And the romances are as complicated as life truly plays out. In story development he uses not only his own past experiences but the counsel of friends he's developed in other fields of aviation, international business and real estate, journalism as well as various local, state and federal law enforcement organizations.
