The Other Side

About the Book

Enjoy this book of short stories about normal people who face unusual circumstances. Every story in this book is based on something in my life but it’s mixed with my imaginative take on what could happen. In “A Fortune Cookie” five people meet in a Chinese Restaurant on a rainy Christmas Eve. All of them are at a crisis in their life. What happens is amazing. Another story “Fire” is about a haunted house in the New England area. Every year at a certain time the house catches on fire. Read the exciting conclusion. “On The Edge” is a story about a baby and a swinger and a tale of horror. There are a few stories for children also. One, “The Hardest Job of All” is about a young man who decides to investigate and find out for himself. You will love this book and it will keep you entertained on those cold winter blustery nights when a good book and a cup of hot cocoa is the only solution.
