An interlude of pleasure and wonder awaits you in this collection of short stories. After dinner, sit down and relax, open the book, and immerse yourself in exciting times gone by. It's story time, and the author has nothing more ambitious than to engage you in what may remind you of your own past. Each one of these entertaining stories is very different. The locations range from Europe in the '40s, the Far East in the '60s, and to the '80s in the US. Only one story is fiction. The author leaves it up to the reader to find that one. You will enjoy the author's easy writing style. So appreciate these unique stories, and feel free to get back to him with your very own story. Remember that in creative nonfiction, an author can embellish the truth and stretch it some as well! The author is a member of the Western Colorado Writers' Forum.
