After writing three books of poetry I finally admitted to myself that most people don't read poetry let alone the four-line end rhyme style that I write. I decided to write a book of short stories. There are many stories in my new book, assorted stories for any ear. I'm a fan of Alfred Hitchcock, so I try to put a twist in every story that I write. I realize that the years are moving on so I thought I'd take one more shot at writing. I quit drinking more than 25 years ago, and I have quit smoking over five years ago. I'm hoping to squeeze some additional years into my life span. I really love
