Excerpt
“You
know,” he said quietly, as we both watched a perfect smoke
ring rise towards the ceiling. “Every fall we listen for
the cannons. You can hear them all over town and miles
around. Tech shoots off those two cannons when they score,
and if there are lots of them going off we know they are
doing well. If not, we know what is going on there too.”
He stopped and looked at me almost like he had forgotten
why I was there.
Story
Although
we can not go back physically in time, for a few moments
we can remember that first new car, a new friend, old
music groups, etc. These are the memories that have defined
our lives to make us part of the family.
This
is a story of real people and events with names changed
in some instances to protect the innocent from publicity.
It
is a story guaranteed to not make you feel like you have
been shot at or chased by a monster. With a very positive
message by the end, it is a book to be enjoyed over and
over.
Bio
Although
I have done some interesting things in my life,
all I ever really wanted to do was write. Retirement gave
me the time, and a loving wife and family gave me the
encouragement. "Cannons In The Fall" is a first
work designed to give me a starting place. I have a 2
part, historical story due out next that is a love story
set in a historical setting covering 4 decades about the
family of an itinerant Pentecostal Evangelist from Paris,
Arkansas.
