Lois Foyt and Jon Foyt ~ graduates of Stanford University ~ have collaborated in writing eight published novels. Their first two novels, Last Train From Mendrisio and Postage Due, were published in the U.K., and their other books, Marathon My Marathon, Red Willow Brew, The Test of Time, The Landscape of Time, The Architecture of Time and The Portrait of Time found distinguished small literary publishing houses in the U. S. Now all their novels are E-Books, available at Smashwords for free sampling and purchase for all E-Book reading devices. D. H. Lawrence said that the novel is the highest form of art. In their critically acclaimed body of work the Foyts have always sought the summit of literary landscapes. They have also written a short story, Ocotillo Omen, which has been published in Italian and English in an Italian literary magazine. They have adapted Marathon My Marathon into a screenplay entitled “A Nuclear Tide” and written a second screenplay, “Painted Waters,” on which their novel The Portrait of Time is based.
