FACTORFICTION

About the Book

FACTORFICTION is a compilation of eleven short stories. Four of these stories were originally published in separate issues of The Knight Stick, the New Hampshire Police Association's quarterly magazine, in the early 1980's. These On The Lighter Side humorous stories are about automobiles of that period. Most of the remaining stories are based upon factual happenings entwined with imaginative fiction. I included 50th ANNIVERSARY in this book in spite of my editor's comment that it didn't belong in the same volume with the other stories due to its absence of humor.
