Passing like "ships in the night," we never realize just how much we influence other people. In a series of 14 short stories, the book emphasizes the significance of our encounters with others. Sometimes the influence is positive, with far-reaching effects. Sometimes the contact may be destructive, even evil. Yet lives are changed, altered in some fashion. The serial killer who lures his victims through old-fashioned snail mail, the doctor who must choose between his career and marriage, the girl who draws a paper piano and becomes a concert pianist--these and other characters indicate just how a smile, a touch, or a slap can change the course of a life. The reader will meet a woman who abandons her twin sons in order to save their lives, an old man running an ancient grocery sons,and, a woman whose car wreck brings romance. The topics range from tragedy, romance, self-discover, rejection, mental illness, abuse and death. However, the overall theme remains that not only do we influence other people as we move through life, they can profoundly influence us as well.
Autorenporträt
I have written most of my life. While still a pre-schooler, I once got in trouble for scribbling in the back of a book. I continued writing throughout school, working on high school and college newspapers, and eventually getting a BA in journalism and creative writing. I have worked as a newspaper writer and editor, as well as a variety of other jobs, such as a substitute teacher, college instructor, and even an Avon saleslady. Currently I hold two master degrees and am a Licensed Professional Counseler and Licensed Addictions Counselor, and have worked in a private prison. Currently I work for a community health clinic as a Behavioral Health Therapist. I love to read, favorites being Tony Hillerman, Henning Mankill and Patrick Taylor, as well as Steve Barry. I love music, current favorites being Celtic Thunder and Josh Groban. My pride and joy are my four children and five grandchildren. I reside in Southeast Colorado, where I continue to write. My current burning desire is a trip to Ireland. Special thank you to my sister, Sandy, for encouraging me to follow her path to Smashwords.
