What Might Have Been

About the Book

I thought about Beth's words concerning Melissa as well as going straight home. I'd never been unfaithful and it bothered me that Beth maintained such thoughts in her mind. As for Melissa, there'd been a time not too far past when I'd had deep hopes and dreams about the two of us getting married; sharing our lives as we watched our children grow, and yes, even having a child together. But those dreams had been shattered in a matter of seconds like a piece of glass and it seemed senseless to dwell on what might have been; but I couldn't refrain from thinking that it should have been Melissa giving birth to our first child instead of Beth.

About the Author

Raised in a small rural town in northeastern Kentucky along with four sisters, the author enlisted in the Navy immediately upon graduating from high school at the height of the Viet Nam conflict. He graduated from numerous navy technical schools while also receiving an Associates degree from the University of Kentucky. Retiring after 20 plus years of active duty service, he moved his family to Florida where he currently resides, working for the federal government at a naval base in southeastern Georgia. The idea for the What Might Have Been series arose while considering the numerous events of his life; wondering how things might have changed should any number of choices been made contrary to the ones originally chosen. The series explores this avenue of thought, depicting how a decision or choice can affect ones life as well as those of others.
