The journey; at four years old, the home, a gas station in Brown City. Distinguished as no stop-light town in Michigan. Passion and life experiencing the gamut power of the Dodge R/T in the sixties, and the horseless power to the automobile in the seventies. The next stop Flint, Michigan, living with the heart being ripped out of GM as factories closed, and Pontiac and Oldsmobile no longer to exist.

Each stop buried with secrets of life intertwine with divorces, business closing, and job losses. The stories and pain are deep in the heart but chasing the American dream, and the words begin to unfold, with sunshine and life in The Villages, Florida.

Previously published short stories; ‘What to Wear’ in volume nine What a Character out of print. A second place in volume ten Were your Muse lives with ‘Eggs over Easy’. Email for availability
