Hi. Yeah, that's me down on the lefthand side of the sidebar. Don't ask me how I got so damn old. I don't really visualize myself as an old man until I look in the mirror and then it's too late. . .ugh.
Enough about me for now. For those of you unfamiliar with the term screwing the pooch it means making a mistake of life changing or catastrophic proportions. It was introduced into everyday language in Tom Wolfe's book, The Right Stuff, a smash hit movie and best seller of 1979.
The book this website introduces is a compilation of seven short stories. What makes Pooch unique is the mix of genre fiction in the collection. Pooch has a story to fit everyone's taste: romance, suspense, thriller, horror, mystery, coming of age and dramatic tragedy. If you can't find a story that appeals in Pooch, well, maybe you should go literary or non-fiction or better yet watch the BBC and read something uplifting like "The Making of the Wonda-Bra." That's my opinion for what it's worth.
I invite you to read an excerpt from a few of the stories and if you like what you read, I invite you to purchase your very own copy. Pooch is available for sale in either soft cover at $14.95 or in eBook at $7.49 at: http://www.booklocker.com/books/3992.html or if you prefer: Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, BooksAMillion, Chapters.indigo.ca and your local bookstore on order. Pooch is now available through Kindle's bookstore on Amazon as well.
Now that I've got all that business out of the way, let's you and I take a look at some of the excerpts. . .follow me. . .it's easy, but don't push. . .I walk slow.
