About the Author

Writing is a well loved hobby of mine, and it helps me to while away many would be lonely hours. It’s amazing how fast time flies when I’m involved in one of my writing escapades. I like to take words and phrases and turn them over in my mind and see what I can create out of them. Creating something out of nothing is a lot of fun. Recently the Word “COVE” invaded my mind. The word kept nagging and tugging at my brains, seeking a story. Finally, my over active imagination came up with this story. Of course it is only fiction and involves no person or place I’ve ever heard of before, except New York and Texas.
