About the Book A few new and imaginative short stories, some sensitive and personal, several with twisted endings: The tales in this second volume draw on a broader range of realities for their story lines as their characters compete for your involvement and attention. Less personal, but much less predictable. The author retains an easy to read Midwestern style and provides light escape into compact events that occur easily within the scope of an evening's reading. Not much profound, and still, a few different insights and ideas to challenge your imagination. A small manageable collection which is not only enjoyable to read, but accented with a surprise or two along the way.
