Produktbeschreibung

The act of opening a vehicle to another who needs a ride opens both driver and rider to completely unpredictable and possibly dangerous interaction. Who knows who you're picking up? Who knows who's stopping for you? The eight short stories in this collection provide examples of the possibilities. Can this soul be saved? Is this guy really who he appears to be? Is he a complete con artist like me? Is this van stopping for me safe to ride in? Will this poor old woman hobbling in the pouring rain talk my ear off? I've got my own problems. Indeed, all drivers and riders do. These stories focus on the meshing and sometimes clashing of individual problems and personalities and the effects on both driver and rider.

Autorenporträt

Ralph Bowden has entertained himself by writing mostly fiction for almost 30 years, through and following careers as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, a history professor, a home builder, an alternative energy consultant, an instructional designer, and a technical writer. Twenty-six novels, four story collections, a volume of collected short fiction, and a three-act play reside, mostly unread, on his hard drive. He likes all of his word children. Realistically, some of them are probably flawed and maybe even terrible. Others might entertain readers besides himself, but Ralph hasn't the time or ego drive to promote and sell, nor the stomach for collecting rejection letters. Self-publishing avoids all that and is quick. If somebody finds and likes what he has written, fine. If not, the world will go on (or not) just the same.
