Autorenporträt
Lee Forbes makes his publishing debut with a tapestry of nine stories that lure the reader into worlds enlivened by his rich stream of life experience. Each vignette holds an authentic realism as the Vietnam-era veteran, firefighter, police officer and paramedic has drawn from a lifetime of work, love, and curiosity to examine life's deepest, most universal questions, all penned in a wry and pensive prose.
