Mosaics


The latest edition of 'Mosaics' is now available for download at Smashwords and Amazon. (Price - $3.99, 76,000 words)

'Mosaics' is a collection of travels, essays, and memoirs that includes many of my best-known works: discovering pool as a teenager and meeting the great Larry Lisciotti (Remembering the Dugout and Larry Lisciotti), a fire and its emotional aftermath (Paper and Fire), the story of two ascents on the highest peak in Southern California (Mt San Gorgonio), and the account of a backpacking trip to the Cabinet Mountains of Montana where I almost met a violent end, twice (Leigh Lake).

This collection also presents several stories from my days in the US Army: the savage killings of James Workman and Eugene Cox in Saigon (Murder at Midnight), a night mission in Vietnam (Bridge Inspection), and an emotional assignment at Fort Bragg (Burial Detail).

Within this collection are stories celebrating the singer Joan Osborne, Richard Brautigan, Blood Mountain in Georgia, and Mt San Jacinto near Palm Springs.

Timeless and emotive, these 41 stories hold something for everyone.

Two hyperlinks appear below; visit Smaswords to download the eBook in any format or visit Amazon to download the eBook to your Kindle.
