Bio
At aged 70 I started to write. I'm a short story writer. I'm a hobby writer, not chasing money, but an audience is very much appreciated. I develop ideas and write from my imagination for family, friends and fellow writers.

Broke Musician's Crazy Cafe
The Harmony Cafe stood on the corner of Commons and Harmony St., its faded awning and chipped paint revealing years of wear and neglect. Inside, Lena Matthews wiped down the counter, her calloused fingers a reminder of countless hours spent strumming her guitar. She had once dreamed of stardom, but now at thirty-two, those dreams seemed as distant as the stage lights she'd never stood under.

Graffiti Grandma G
By Edger Ai Bington Annette "Netty" Priestly was renowned for her perfectly coiffed hair, her tireless energy and her even more perfect scones (14 flavors). But Netty had a secret – a side buried beneath layers of sensible cardigans and bridge club gossip. It started innocently enough; a can of discarded spray paint left behind in her car by her most mischievous grandson. One rainy afternoon, while waiting for him at the bus stop, Netty found herself drawn to the blank canvas of a boarded-up storefront. In less than 2 minutes a whimsical flower sprouted under her hesitant hand, a splash of color in the dreary grey. Back in her car, she thanked God, grateful that she didn’t get caught.

Agnes Bought Jim A Corvette in 1971: Why Didn’t He Get It until 2020
Agnes, a spunky 78-year-Sunflower-State native, surprised everyone in 1971 when she waltzed into a fancy Kansas City Chevy dealership and drove out in a sunshine yellow Corvette Stingray. Agnes, they chuckled, was too old for such a hot rod. But Agnes, with a glint in her eye and a mischievous grin, showed them all. She cruised the dusty Kansas backroads, the wind whipping through her silver hair, determined to let everyone know; age is just a number and speed is sexy at seventy-eight (and up to 100mph).

Operation Thunder Strike: Through My Eyes
The Rising Threat I can’t forget the day I got the call. Our intel had finally confirmed what we’d feared: the Rebel Legion had entrenched themselves in a mountain stronghold, planning their next wave of attacks. The Command Structure of the International Coalition knew we had to act fast, and Task Force Echo was chosen to lead the charge.

This One Song Can Change a Heart
Ella Fitzgerald never sounded quite right in the dingy confines of The Rusty Nail. The jazz legend's velvety voice, a cherished relic in Loretta’s extensive vinyl collection, was meant for grand concert halls, not this smoke-filled dive on the wrong side of town. Still, here she was, hunched over a lukewarm beer, desperation tugging at her heartstrings.

Hernandez House At The End Of Antler Circle
The sun, a giant fiery Ojo de Dios, glared down on Antler Circle, baking the dusty street and casting short shadows from the stoic oak trees. At the end of the circle, the old Hernandez house stood like a weathered bullfighter, its sun-bleached brick coat bearing the scars of time. This house, once a boisterous nest brimming with laughter and spicy chorizo smells, now echoed with a different kind of silence: the hush of generations past and the quiet of dwindling disuse.
