Idle Ramblings and Other Tales

A collection of short stories makes sense for a writer who grew up in Natchez, Mississippi, the oldest town on the Mississippi River and a setting rife with history and wild stories. Throw in several years living aboard a sailboat participating in island tiki bar tales lubricated by rounds of rum punch, and the idea for Ramblings was born. This collection is eclectic in that the essay subjects range from war to religion and the short stories from the serious to the absurd. As a product of the deep South, where the ultimate compliment is to be referred to as ‘a good ole boy’, my stories represent the attitudes, the humor and the experiences of one so blessed.
