Mark Macedonia, ’82, is the author of “The Soles of Cyrus Eblis,” which was published Feb. 5, 2019.

Eighteenth century Lynn, Massachusetts, is a tranquil and prosperous hub for the colonial shoemaking industry until the arrival of a dark and mysterious stranger who brings a new and diabolical meaning to the manufacturing of soles.

On the eve of the American Revolution, as the North American continent is on the verge of a profound transformation that will alter the course of world history, a New England teenager living and working in Lynn is thrust unwittingly to the forefront of a more menacing conflict — a terrifying battle with a demonic presence that has its roots in an ancient universal war between good and evil.

Macedonia is a social studies teacher for the Seneca Valley School District in western Pennsylvania, where he teaches AP world history and honors United States history to sophomores and freshmen.

“The Soles” is available from online and other booksellers. For more information, visit cyruseblis.com.
