Which of her three lovers will beautiful twenty-three year old Simone Muirchant chose? Will it be her wealthy blue-blooded fiancé? Could she choose the high school senior who is her passionate secret lover? Will she succumb to the earthy insensitivity of the mysterious third man in her love life? Or will she simply sustain all three lovers?The above encapsulation is the central anchoring plot dilemma for Boomers Bastards & Boneheads: The Wasted Generation, the first of four novels in a fictional quartet entitled The Generations Series. This first book is set on Long Island during the years of 1965 through 1980. The chapters of Boomers Bastards & Boneheads unfold during some of more intriguing events of the period including the Vietnam War; the Moon Landings; Chappaquiddick; Woodstock; Watergate and even the long lines at gas stations during the 1973 Oil Embargo.**********Collectively the four novels that comprise The Generations Series depict the sequential story of two Long Island families throughout multiple generations of intriguing characters. The Babcocks and the Johnsons share more than just a persistent hatred of one another. The ongoing plotline revolves around a carnal reality that there had been a blending of the families back in 1965. That was when the beautiful but enigmatic Simone Muirchant managed to become part of both families. The hatred and hostility between the Babcocks and the Johnsons leads to misogamy, mislaid blame, murder and mayhem. **********One early reader has described the milieu of the 4 volume epic as "Jay Gatsby versus Forrest Gump." Set on Long Island in suburban New York, the epic saga is illuminated by the evolution of thoughts, behaviors and mores in the United States from 1965 through 2016. The fictional all-male Catholic high school - Shenandoah - also plays an essential role in centering the progression of changes that take place for the principal characters over a fifty year period. The bitter hatred between the Babcocks and the Johnsons transcends the timeworn topics of War; Spirituality; Morality and Politics. It also utilizes a fifty year chronology to depict the development of Music; Baseball; Drug Abuse; Sexual Liberation; Political Evolution; Racial Unrest; Feminism and Information Technology across five decades of change in the United States and on Long Island. By the end of the fourth novel the reader will have relived a half century of Americana that may very well serve as a gateway to the exciting future ahead.**********
