Book Cover & Preview Text
The last half of my senior year of high school was absorbed by trying to imagine an idea for a senior prank that would forever be remembered as the most bodacious stunt of all time. After months of carefully analyzing every conceivable possibility with my cohorts the perfect plan was finally agreed upon. We’d set Baldwin Pond on fire. Setting a pond on fire is not an easy matter. Ponds are filled with water and water doesn’t burn easily. That was the genius of the plan. Chemistry class had not been wasted on us. We would add a little gasoline.

About the Book
Never set a Pond on Fire is a collection of four short stories. These stories are gleaned from the authors days growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River and an oral tradition of story telling in his family. All are full of adventure. Each story has a different theme. They range from a whimsical story of a high school senior prank gone terribly wrong to a night of shear terror being cornered by a murderer. From being lost deep in the bowels of Mark Twain Cave to an eyrie tale of an apparition.
