Many Sundry Things
U is for Undeniable Magic
*_*_*_*_*
One of my earliest memories is of my mother reading to me.
Those stories were Black Beauty, Misty of Chincoteague, and the Lad and Lassie
dog stories. The image of her sitting on the edge of my bed reading is very
vivid in my mind.
I don’t know how old I was when I suddenly made the
connection between the printed words and the stories she told me. All I know
for sure is the undeniable fact that, for me, books became magic and have
remained so until this day. They will always be magic to me.
The Internet has put the world at our fingertips, but books
brought the world to us first. It’s undeniable that Johannes Gutenberg changed
the world with his movable type printing press. It’s undeniable the mass
produced printed word was a catalyst for societal revolution. It’s also undeniable that the digital book
has created new paradigms.
Whether the book is printed on paper, read on a screen, or
listened to via a set of earbuds, the undeniable magic of the story is there.
Undeniable magic. I like that.

Once again this year I have to do a little book promo along
the way. You won’t know about my books if I don’t tell you about them, right?
With a summer storm threatening to ruin his Friday afternoon, Asa Burton packs his briefcase and bolts for home before the driving gets dangerous. On the interstate, stuck behind an accident, he regrets his decision until he sees Ford Weston standing along the side of the road talking to a police officer.
Ford Weston can’t believe his luck, bad and good. First his
car gets clipped on the tail end of an accident, and than none other then Asa
Burton pulls over and offers him a ride home. Coming face-to-face with the
biggest regret of his life leaves Ford off-balance. He’d screwed up with Asa
all those years ago. It was his fault the relationship ended.
Asa can’t believe he’s found Ford again, so why is he angry
with himself? Could it be because Ford walked out on him without a word
seventeen years ago and he did nothing to stop him? Asa’s sure of only one
thing – Fate just handed him the opportunity to win Ford back – and get some
answers.
