Earth Tales

Book Cover & Preview Text
Welcome. I hope my imagination is entertaining.
Earth Tales travels a good bit from story to story. We start with, ‘San Fran Dayze,’ roaming around the bay area. Then it's off to. ‘A Coney Island Afternoon,’ for some beach time. A quick trip down south for the pilot episode of, ‘Crocker's,’ winds up part one.
Part two takes us into NYC for, ‘Christmas Music to My Ears,’ and then goes back in time for a taste of teenage pyromania in ‘Let’s Blow Some Shit Up’. For the stage, I offer the first two scenes of, ‘Free Lance Writer,’ followed by a film script titled, ‘Fred the Cop’.
‘Magnolias,’ is a short story set in Savannah during the early 70’s for the life and death story of a head shop before its time. We take to the road again for, ‘I Was In A Coma Once’. This one is a hit and run, hitch hiking, and rock concert tale of actual life and death.
In, ‘A Baseball Story’ we explore the circumstance of acquiring an autograph on a ball that already has a few signatures. ‘Just An Idea,’ is the fantasy about how to save the Apollo theater from a fate worse than condos. The tales are completed with a quaint story of Italian cooking in, ‘Raos,’ and its two year waiting list to get in line for reservations.
