Saving a Songbird and Other True Stories from Texas to Venezuela

'Saving a Songbird' is a collection of short stories with a twist: they are nonfiction, perhaps best classified as creative nonfiction. The writer constructed the tales by using techniques of traditional short story writers. Each story tells of the narrator's dealings with unusual people he knew, many in various Venezuelan villages, others in towns in Texas. Several of the stories have won first place in national contests.
