If “write what you know” are words to live by, then Spencerport author David B. Seaburn should have fodder for many years’ worth of books. The wisdom gained by the author’s 30-year career as a marriage and family therapist and tenure as a parish minister contribute broadly to his fifth novel, More More Time (Savant Books and Publications, July 2015). Readers describe it as a compelling and thought-provoking story of six intertwining lives set against the limits of time.
Through his characters – lively, funny, a bit lost or wounded, yet resilient and hopeful – Seaburn explores issues that every individual faces during a lifetime. How do we make relationships work? Who can we trust and love? What is the impact of loss on our lives? How do we use the time allotted to us, even though we have no idea how much time we actually have? “I think that we are always wrestling with these questions; we are always looking for answers,” Seaburn says. “It’s through this process that we make sense of our lives and give them meaning.”
A free book launch party, open to the public, will take place Thursday, October 1 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Writers and Books, 740 University Avenue, Rochester. The community is invited to stop by and hear Seaburn’s reading from More More Time.
