When Death Changes Life: The Danny Tompkins Short Stories (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The six Danny Tompkins short stories explored teenage grief at the death of a parent. They are collected here in one volume. The stories follow 13-year-old Danny as he comes to grips with the death that changed his family. Decades later the adult Daniel re-lives many of the scenes from those few traumatic days, of the next school year, of how his surviving parent coped, of how Danny and his siblings coped, and how in his later years he found a release of his grief in writing poetry, as well as re-living the events.

Each story focuses on a different memory or situation. After Danny's school years, the stories show Daniel in mid-adult years and then later, about to enter his senior adult years.

Autorenporträt

David Todd is a civil engineer by profession (37 years), a genealogist by avocation, an environmentalist by choice, and a writer by passion. He grew up in Rhode Island, where he attended public schools in Cranston and then the University of Rhode Island. In his adult life he has lived in Kansas City, Saudi Arabia, Asheboro North Carolina, Kuwait, and now northwest Arkansas since 1991. Along the way he acquired a love for history and poetry.

He currently works at CEI Engineering Associates, Inc. in Bentonville, Arkansas. He is Corporate Trainer for Engineering, which includes planning and conducting training classes and mentoring younger staff. He is the senior engineer at the company, and hence gets called on to do the more difficult projects that most of the younger engineers don't feel confident to tackle. He has recently worked on a number of floodplain studies and mapping projects. He is a registered engineer in three states, a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control, and a Certified Construction Specifier (certification lapsed).

He has been actively pursuing genealogy for fifteen years, having done much to document his and his wife's ancestry and family history. He has been writing creatively for eleven years.
