Charlie’s Diner

About the Book

Charlie Winter was a grieving widower who mourned not only the loss of his wife but also the death of his young daughter a few years prior to his wife’s death. All of Charlie’s wealth could not make up for the pain he endured, and he envied happy families. His grief and envy were enough for him to seek ruining those families who were happy. Although the Owen family struggled with ordinary household finances, they seemed to be a happy family. Paul felt he made sufficient money so that Ann could stay home and raise their two kids. Ann had a different opinion as she paid the bills. This typical family disagreement was challenging the portrayal of a happy family. A chance lunch at Charlie’s favorite diner will alter the lives of the Owen family forever.

About the Author

After fifty plus years of designing and implementing computerized business and security systems, Dennis Killeen was in need of a new challenge. He has written business contracts, proposals, and documentation, in which there may have been some fiction, and most led to qualified successes. Years of poetry and small articles in newspapers along the way still left a hole in the writing quest. Telling stories is a time-honored tradition and certainly among his family and friends. Dennis finally applied fingers to the keyboard to write stories for himself and share them with everyone.
