SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED PAPERBACK

In the town of Shorter, Missouri, lives are turning — like the big blades of the helicopter visiting the town for a summer festival — some slowly rising, others spinning toward the ground.

Look closely at these people — the mysteries and coded messages of life are in the details and the mundane, in small decisions and hidden events.

Here are nine stories of lives on that single day — a former baseball star who comes back to lead the parade, a woman who drifts between dementia and magic, a local musician who may have played his final gig, a DJ who tries to come home but has trouble finding the way, a college girl anxious to leave her roots.

Snapshots of lives, all turning, changing, happening — on Whirlybird Day.

This is my first book - nine connected short stories, loosely based on my experiences of growing up in a small town in Missouri.

The book comes in a softcover binding, signed and personalized.
