Author George Conner's New Book 'Milepost 271' is a Profound Tale That Will Cause Readers to Pause and Think When They Notice Memorials on Roadsides

HAVELOCK, N.C., January 6, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​George Conner, a veteran who spent 20 years in the Marines, serves his entire career as an Aviation Ordnance Man 6511/6521, has completed his new book “Milepost 271”: a powerful contemplation of life and what happens beyond earthly existence.

“How many times have you been driving along and suddenly see a makeshift cross, a fence post or a milepost with flowers hanging on it, a sign that some poor soul had found their way there, only to find the ever after? I have wondered countless times in countless places traveling alone, and see a single cross on the side of the road, wondering what kind of life brought some wayward soul to this spot sometimes so desolate, why would they be there, of course some of those sites are for pets that lost their way and had an unfortunate accident with an uncaring driver too caught up in their own problems to look out for anything on the road, after all the roads are made for cars. ‘How dare anything or anyone be out here while I’m trying to go from one place to another.’ If only they should know what I know they wouldn’t be so brazen to think theirs is the only life that matters. This is the story behind just one of those many markers dotting the roads we so thoroughly take for granted. One lifetime of pain, filling another life with wonder and appreciation,” said Conner.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, George Conner’s reflective tale incites deeper thought about the markings along the road that signify life and loss. Readers will find themselves considering these questions as a result of this genuine story.

Readers who wish to experience this powerful work can purchase “Milepost 271” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
