Author Description

You will find in this book twenty-two stories. Each story is numbered. The easiest way to enjoy them is to begin with number one and proceed through the others in numerical sequence. Although some were written years ago, all have a contemporary feeling. Accurate details are designed to help the reader profit from many hours of painstaking research. If you are familiar with Chicago or Ireland, for example, the details tell you the scenes located there have been presented correctly. The same is true throughout this collection. Some topics are treated briefly, others at considerable length. If there is a common characteristic, it is the attempt at humor that flows throughout the book and hopefully adds to your enjoyment.
