LOVE AND ROMANCE Writer Caló Exercises The Broken Heart Caló's novels can neither mend nor heal heartbreak, but their dramatic monologues can strengthen the reader's capacity to love once again. Endless Love Endless love haunts Caló fiction as if he, too, like you, sought, unequipped, love's passion absent the scorch of dramatic irony. Making Love: Heaven or Human Is making love heaven or human? Or a Homo sapiens ploy to override the reality of eternity by celebrating the temporal. This, you and your true love ponder, do you? And do you thirst at times for a soliloquy? Latin Lovers Heat Up Caló Novels Latin lovers heat Caló novels whether set in the U.S. or the Southern Americas. The dark skins of passion and the white skins of arrogance accede to the ameliorating power of two Latin dramas. THE HORSE Horses Rescued From Inferno Live To Race Caló writes of a horse rescue in which horse lovers of cultural diversity save Arabian horses from a mountain inferno in Latin America to form an English equitation and horseback riding club. Horseback Riding Story Turns Ruthless A group of horse lovers turned ruthless by jealousy, lust and love and passion engage a savage horseback trail riding drama with an Arabian, a Criollo and a retired Thoroughbred race horse who must carry them into a zone, if not of tragedy, at best philosophical. METAPHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL Self Actualization Personal growth does not come easy for Caló characters flung to ladder's bottom rung where they shutter to find that those even more colorful than they have failed to reach the tier of self actualization. Novelist Scrutinizes Spiritual Growth Serendipity of enlightenment or spiritual growth hides within the drama of Caló novels in which he sends the reader where no personal growth self help book can - into the heart of another's personal hell. CHILD ABUSE Writer Hammers Child Abuse Outrages Two Caló novels hammer home the outrage of child abuse with its ruinous consequences, much of it disguised behind the well meaning efforts of staid and sober families. POETRY & POEM Chapbook of Poem Opens Caló Soul Six chapbooks of poetry both define and ambiguate the faceted life of Author Caló.	About The Author Defined by Romanian, Austrian, and Spanish ancestry transplanted into the New World by migratory kin, the child Zolen Caló awoke in South Dakota. There, his starved curiosity sought nourishment in books. As he later traveled the world with military parents, he nurtured literary fascinations. He worked his way through Southern U.S. universities where he earned degrees in literature and psychology, after which he resumed his "hazardous adventures of a domestic sort." He has consolidated his search for lore into seven novels and six chapbooks of poem. He now lives south of popular in Brer Rabbit country where he writes and, with his editor wife, enjoys the company of his dogs, cats, equine, goats, and, occasionally, that of his two sons.	MULTI CULTURAL & THE MULTICULTURAL Novels Invigorate Cultural Anthropology Two new novels by Author Caló invigorate the grave study of cultural anthropology through fictional characters who stand for cultural diversity and social change from Ohio to Hispania. Caló Novels Explore Cultural Difference Five Caló novels explore cultural difference both at home and across Hispania with uniquely unsettling endings, drawn from earth-rending remnants of psychology and philosophy. Fuse To Caló Fiction: Cultural Diversity Cultural diversity lights the slow fuse of the fiction that fires the often worrisome endings of Caló novels. Hispanic Heritage Stirs In English Literature Upon a backdrop of The Passion of the Christ, Hispanic heritage is divined from a culture that hides roots deep in loving, belonging, accepting & sharing - until, in two Caló novels, encroachment shifts tolerance to lethal justice. Cultural Changes Messengered Cultural anthropology finds rich ground in Latin America where social change and social issues central to Hispanic culture meet the heartbreak of two North Americans who find both horse slaughter and the taste of lost love high in the outback - where the picaresque lives, Spanish literature stages the backdrop, and Novelist Caló shapes a new diet for literary criticism. EMOTIONAL ABANDONMENT Adoption Story a Tragedy When Protective Services Ignore Child Exploitation Caló harangues adoption fraud, adoption search, adoptive parent handling and evangelical baby brokering as his adoption story verges upon tragedy in Latin America. Emotional Abandonment Is Common Emotion To feel alienation, disconnection, abandonment even when surrounded by family and the familiar - common emotions that lead to a chase for self-awareness in Caló novels. ALCOHOLISM & CODEPENDENCY Caló Probes Evolution of Alcoholic Phipp Kearney is becoming an alcoholic as he copes with child abuse, emotional abandonment, his infidelity and loss of self awareness. Insightful Plot Can't Hide Alcoholism A protagonist's dive into alcoholism, infidelity and alienation does not escape those who wish to ruin him. Novel Quizzes Roles In Codependency Caló quizzes the reader through the lives of eight codependent characters caught in a tangle that generates self hate.
	Abstracts From Zolen Caló's Novels *From* Ali Zán And True Love The driver was Father—known locally as Tracer Montrose—a North American, a strongly built man with dark hair, grayish eyes, and skin five times lighter than the Honduran cowboys with whom I was familiar. Somehow, from his gait and the way he held his mouth, I sensed him to be a determined man—not quite broken. *From* Memory Work The psychic’s face sobered. "I think you’ll drown," she replied thoughtfully, "You could drown in the quiet waters of a river, like the Coosa outside our little mall here. Or you could drown in your bathtub after a drunken spill there. Or you could drown by the tightness of a rope you put around your own neck. All those opportunities open to you." She stopped. She eyed him certainly. "Or you could die the slowest and most horrible of deaths that mortals know." *From* Just Another Georgia Romance *"This must* be love." She almost whispered but mostly breathed the words upon his chest. She lifted her cheek and turned her eyes upon his face, conscious of the draw of her nakedness along the bareness of his ribs. From The Quixote Imbroglio "You always say I'm dirty, smelly, and stupid, Aunt Ballena. But neither you nor any other family member I've lived with ever let me go to school. I've lived in the back rooms of bars and tire shops and tool sheds and corner stores and carpenter shops all my life. I've never been outside of Tegucigalpa. I've never even been in a taxi. But I've been in bed with Uncle Juan, Uncle Luis, Uncle Francisco, and Step-Uncle Jorge." "Don't you talk about my husband like that!" Ballena shouted. From Fingers Through The Sand "Isn’t love wonderful. The power of the unconscious mind—isn’t it wonderful? Here, having embraced in the passion of a desperate moment, lie, I find, the Unlikelies!" His eyes widened with self-manufactured surprise. "The Unlikelies! I like that; even if it is of my own coinage. Two antagonists, forced together by the artificial pressures of a summer theater play. You two, whom I’ve watched so busy hating one another that you could not see, as I saw, the start of love budding in your breasts. Oh! How incomprehensibly true!" The professor, now a little wild-eyed, a touch of saliva playing at the corner of his mouth, leaned toward them. From Nearly Diamond "It’s a little early for a beer, isn’t it?" the bartender said. She sat a glass and a bottle before him. "Do I look like I give a damn," Hanford replied with a glare. The bartender redoubled her guest’s expression. "You have a pretty face to show it with such a rotten disposition," she answered. Hanford pushed aside the glass and drank directly from the bottle. When he put it down, most of the contents were gone. "What’s your name," she asked. "Hanford Stone." "Umm. I’ve heard of you." "Usually my fame follows me, not precedes me," he replied, "What’s your name?" "Shana." "Shana who? Don’t you people from Ohio own last names?" His reply came tersely and ended in a silent stare. From He, Recalled "Damn, Chica. Can’t you stop with those whore sounds. You’ve got it sounding like a zoo in here." Chica sat back upon her knees and frowned at her lover, the chocolate of her irises concentrated into the most formidable of Indian dissatisfaction. "I was only trying to raise your spirits, Ware." "All you need to do is raise my desire, Chica. All else follows…and without the animal noise." Ware pushed himself erect against the head of the bed and tucked a pillow behind himself. He eyed the naked body of Chica, the Salvadoran prostitute he had rescued off the beach at Amapala to become his unavoidable companion. From Earth, Dirt and Dust . . . Certain subtle things gone, Suddenly missed and totaled, Point to those greater things abused, And now gone, too.**
