A book that needs to be read today to fully enjoy the happiest of books when the sequel follows. As author Alec Gould would say, Welcome to my world. Enjoy.What do you mean, what number am I on?

Excerpt:

You know, what number life. 1, 2, 3 or higher?

First off, we never discuss that. Second, we never dwell on that. Third, and this you should know, one should never waste their lives dwelling on matters they cannot do anything about. What number life am I on? It does not matter to you, nor to me. It only matters that we enjoy life as we do. With one another, with love.

Readers fifteen to one hundred fifteen will find this delightful, heart-warming story difficult to put down. Filled with laughs, happy tears, heartache, more happy tears and more laughs, this page turner will resonate with many and leave you with a smile.

The manner in which Gould has Don anthropomorphize* both Alec and Ted-D is consistently touching and will doubtless strike a chord with the cat owners who are the book's natural audience. - Kirkus Reviews

anthropomorphize*: To give human characteristics to a pet or such. Example: Winnie-the-Pooh.

Told in a style similar to Samuel Clemens and Will Rogers, inside this must-read are enjoyable short stories; some with a twist. Stories such as Life's a Birch, Kindergarten King, Time Tunnel and Venison On the Go. These stories and others will make you laugh, cry, or wet your pants. Sometimes all at once. Alec truly does have a way with words and we are fortunate that this book is just the start of many more in this series. By the time you finish reading, you shall see how versatile Alec is as there is a BONUS poem. This one alone, you would swear Edgar Allan Poe himself had wrote. As Alec would say, Enjoy my friends

Through inner belief in himself, watching and learning from those around him and with the love of others, Ploop realizes his dream of becoming a Christmas Tree. Through this story children will learn to look within to find the strength to obtain their dreams and along the way, that things - or trees- may not always be what they appear to be from the outside.

There was a time I, the author, would read disgusting things in the newspaper or hear them on the news. My reaction then was to dispose of these people in a fashion that they would never be able to repeat their crimes. Then I came across this, the unbelievable false accusation stated by a young girl against her own father. I had mentioned it to my neighbor who surprised me by stating that she almost did the same thing to her own father. Why? Because she did not like her parents getting a divorce. Hindsight being 20-20, she told me that she was glad today that she did not follow through on her thoughts of so many years ago.

It's been stated that 2% - 5% of all accusations are false. That's not much, is it? Until it becomes your own grandfather, father, brother, or son. Or maybe you? Then, it is a reality like the end of the world. Maybe not for all peoples, but it is for the accused. And keep in mind, it is not only the male populace that is being accused. No one is immune to the accusations. Men and women, boys and girls. Family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers are all susceptible.

Follow along in this horrific story which is based upon actual court documents. At the end, you can decide, is our protagonist guilty or not guilty?

Excerpt:

Within the black and white photos of the shoe box, I see my dad. Tall, skinny, always with a big grin.

He had a kind heart, liked to have a few beers, and enjoyed his Marlboro reds, just like I had years ago.

You could say I was taking on the family tradition of drinking and smoking, at least until I had problems breathing. Drinking continued for a few more years after the cigarettes became history.

I thought of my dad a lot more these days. More than I had before my life went to hell.

Every night, just before my eyes closed in sleep, I would hope to be with him, where-ever he was.
