Halcyon Daze
By Palmer Owyoung 

     Halcyon Daze takes a humorous look at a woman in her late twenties, struggling to to avoid getting stuck in her life. Kalani is having a quarter-life crisis and decides to leave her fiancé at the altar and leave Kansas to find herself. Along the way, she experiences many humorous episodes that help her decide who she is.

     Halcyon Daze is written to make the reader laugh out loud and cause them to think, "Could this really happen?" There are several unusual characters Owyoung has been able to give separate personalities. The plot goes along very well without the reader getting confused by the timeframe. With all of the different episodes and characters, the reader gets lost into the story, and feels that they are there with Kalani and experiencing everything along with her.

     Halcyon Daze is Mr. Owyoung's debut novel and if this book has anything to say, it states that he will be a writer who will be staying on the front-line with his comedy and writing.
