Memphis Commercial Appeal, May 12, 2006 by Shawn Street
Book publisher PublishAmerica is proud to present "The Life of a Millworker's Son" by Hernando's Lew Fields.
"The Life of a Millworker's Son" is the story of a man named George who, after a work area accident results in the death of his brother-in-law, flees the country in fear that he might be charged with murder. After returning home, he enters the world of politics, becoming the governor of Georgia and eventually a senator. But his past returns to haunt him and threatens to bring all of his success crashing down around him.
First-time author Fields, who holds a degree from the University of Tennessee, began work for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in 1956 at the Bendix Facility in Kansas City, Mo., later transferring to the Iowa Ordinance Site. He worked in the field of radiation measurement as a field engineer for the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge, Tenn., in the 1960s. In 1975, he worked for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Washington as a nuclear materials control analyst and has worked with Los Alamos laboratory scientists in developing nuclear measurement instrumentation and methods. He assisted in the development of a UF6 test loop and training of inspectors in its use for the IAEA in Vienna, Austria.
PublishAmerica, home of 20,000 authors, is a traditional publishing company whose primary goal is to encourage and promote the works of new, previously undiscovered writers.
