Tales of Reflection (eBook, ePUB)

An Autobiography of Sorts

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Unlike my previous ten books, Tales of Reflection is about myself, pure and simple. It travels from the 1950s through the present, chronicling my times, my events, and their relationship to the times and the events about me. It is a book no one else could write, full of pathos and full of humor, full of fear, and I hope, full of love. It is my life, spread out like a blanket for a picnic. You are all invited.

Autorenporträt

It seems that I have been in the communication business all my life.

I moved from German to English at the age of two, wrote my first poem in the fifth grade, strived for Colorado newspapers for more than twenty years (in a variety of capacities), aided in setting up and working for the communication system (dispatch and 911) of the Black Hawk Police Department. I have published ten volumes of short stories and poetry. All this writing has been about me and my journey and the times a fantastical trip through multihued glasses and multileveled planes. Yet, somehow I managed to keep my actual self removed.

This book is about myself, pure and simple. It is a chronological attempt at explaining where I came from and the times through which I moved. It truly is a book no one else could write. It is a book full of pathos and full of humor, full of fear, and I hope, full of love. It covers the post-World War II 1950s, through the turbulent 1960s, which gave birth to the dramatic 1970s, then brings me up-to-date through the 1980s, '90s, into the current decade. Though it is about me, I see it offering a visual flavor of the times, what they were, and perhaps, why so many of us acted as we did and became what we are.

I hope the book will touch everyone, sparking memories, piquing emotions, illuminating shadows, and/or touching a scab or two. Mostly, I hope this book will entertain and crack a multitude of smiles.

It is my life, spread out like a blanket for a picnic. You are all invited.
