This collection of seven short tales are all loosely based on episodes from my own life over the last few years. Of course I’ve changed names and locations, adapted situations to make things less bland to read. Each represents a significant point in what, I’ll admit, has been a difficult few years for me both mentally and financially. The reason for bringing all of these tales together like this is that they don’t really fit in with my other fiction writings. Indeed, each of these was written in response to emotions that I couldn’t lock away and needed an outlet, despair, loss, fear...

Most of the stories and poems in this audiobook were compiled from handwritten notes in journals I've been keeping for several years.

"The Lighthouse" is a moving tale that's as close to poetry as prose and offers a beautifully upbeat ending. "Grandma Brown" is a nostalgic and emotionally moving tale of familial love.

Caden: When I first met Grayle Meadows, I made a pass at him, and he said that I was too young. “Come back when you’re older, maybe with hair on your chin and chest.” He glanced down at the tent in my pants, and smiled. “That too. Then, perhaps we can talk, but if you insist, I could use a friend.” A friend? I have lots of friends, I thought. But, with a man like Grayle, I’d take him anyway I could. The next time I met him, he didn’t see me. I had changed. I was no longer that twenty-year-old man who had been only a friend to him. My voice had deepened, and I had grown a beard...
