The stories in this book deal with a variety of subjects. Some are factual, true stories, while others are written with tongue placed firmly in cheek. I have called upon my life experiences for much of the material in my short stories.
Many tales are drawn from my experiences as a young boy roaming the hills of northeast Arkansas, while others are from my having been a player and coach for various sports teams over the years. I have been fortunate enough to have coached players who later played professionally or were named to All-American teams during their sports careers. Some of my stories are about my experiences with these talented and interesting young people.
