Between these pages lie 12 tales of the bizarre. How bizarre? One is a murder mystery involving past lives and reincarnation. Another is about a young man and his guardian angel trying to prevent 9/11. A third is a coming of age story that centers around enchanted toothbrushes and the affects, both good and bad, they have on four young lives. And then there is the tale of the little boy who uses his best friend, Tree, to help him solve problems, all, that is, except the most important one-what to do with Tree when he and his family has to move?

How off centered are the stories in this anthology? How about a murder mystery involving past lives and reincarnation? How about a coming of age story that centers around enchanted toothbrushes and the effects, both good and bad, they have on four young lives in 1953? How about a young man and his guardian angel working together to try and prevent a national tragedy? Mix these with several shorts and you have an eclectic collection of tales somewhat reminiscent of Ray Bradbury, The Twilight Zone and Stephen King.

Dear reader, what you are looking at is a brief memoir that spans my nearly fifty years in the writing business, starting with my naive beginnings in 1966 up to the present. Over the years, I've gone from adult short fiction to children's stories, to a number of profile pieces. During this time, I've learned a lot about the business of writing, some of which I've tried to impart in the chapters marked Tips And Observations. I hope you find my memoir both enjoyable as well as informative."
