Can you name every published work of fiction by Simmons that has the character Mike O'Rourke in it?

His most known appearance was in the novel SUMMER OF NIGHT as a kid battling evil.

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT- Yes. He was a grown man, in fact a man of the cloth, Father Mike O'Rourke, in this appearance.

A WINTER HAUNTING- No. He may've been mentioned in passing, but doesn't appear as a character.

Here's a hint: Besides SUMMER OF NIGHT & CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, Mike O'Rourke has been in 3 additional works of fiction by Dan.

Unfortunately, I am pulling a complete blank (I have also been consumed with that question thread...) Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell

The five works by Dan Simmons that have appearances by Mike O'Rourke are:

SUMMER OF NIGHT

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

FIRES OF EDEN

"Elm Haven, IL" a short story from FREAK SHOW edited by F. Paul Wilson

"Bannished Dreams" a chapbook that featured scenes removed from the novel SUMMER OF NIGHT

Another question may appear soon.

Some1 knos his stuff! I won't say who! And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.

Ahira, Ahira, he called out silently to the sky. Ahira, Ahira<i></i>
