About the Author: Dr. Donald D.
A disabled veteran of two periods of wartime service, Dr. Hook is a retired professor of linguistics and German language and literature at Trinity College, Hartford, CT. He is the author or co-author of some four dozen books and hundreds of stories, monographs, and essays. He has published with 11 different houses in this country and abroad. This is his first ebook. Married, with two children and three grandchildren, he retired to Delaware 20 years ago.
A book of short stories should well suit the busy American with 30 minutes here and there throughout the day and at bedtime. Such a book is especially appropriate for older readers whose short-term memory will not be challenged. The stories may be read in any order; many of the titles give a hint as to the content.

Like all fiction, these short stories are the resultant brew of the experiences of a lifetime. There is truth to be discovered here, coupled with signs pointing to the future as well as to the past. After all, many would agree that time is a sort of loop. Additional bonuses are a dollop or so of humor and a better understanding of unusual human behavior.
