In this collection, each work of fiction is accompanied by a brief essay exploring the formative experiences, memories, and themes that inspired the work, making this a very personal and intimate collection.

The book opens with “You Got Me,” in which the way two people each get through one particularly rough day might have a lot to do with how they spend their days to come.

A musician struggles with expectations and understanding when he travels far from home with his new band for “Gig Number Two.”

He says it’s “Not My Fault,” but is something driving a wedge between them at their anniversary dinner, or is he just… distracted?

“The Days of Wine and Roses by The Dream Syndicate” provides a mental soundtrack for a reluctant walk through memory and pain on the way to save a troubled damsel in distress, one last time.

Each of the Four Stories is fiction, but they each have a piece of the author woven between the lines. You might find yourself in there, too.
