Collected Stories

The stories in this volume are in three sections. "e;Retirement Stories"e; are about senior citizens, such as a retiree prompted by a college survey to examine his past ("e;Mr. Maple's Good Life"e;), a retiree prompted to think about human connections after a chance meeting with "e;The Lady from Australia"e; and a retiree who sees a chance for revenge when the ex-boss who fired him moves next door ("e;New Neighbors"e;)."e;Left-Over Stories"e; are those I couldn't fit into Volume I. These include a story telling you how to make "e;Money"e;, worth the price of the book alone, and a trilogy continuing the story of the young man in "e;Being in Love"e; with "e;Getting Married"e; and "e;Struggling On"e; in the early married years.The third section has stories written just for fun, which I hope, will be fun to read. There's a ghost story, a vampire story, a love potion story, a magic ring story and more. In the last story, "e;Unfinished Business"e;, a writer tries to outwit death.
