Cowboys and Sheepdogs A Writer's Sketchbook

A prodigal uncle who corrupts a nephew by introducing him to Tolkien. A dog who insists on a successor. A man who finds love with a Marine and a cowboy. A cat who saves a cowboy. A mysterious town in Nebraska where all the residents have blue eyes. A nephew's visit to a Boot Hill graveyard. A dog who's a free agent. An angel in jeans. An invisible dog who warms a heart. A footlocker filled with memories. An old man meets himself as a child. A ghost dog who delivers vengeance for the murder of his mistress. A few gay cowboys. A dog without a name. A man who enters a church in the 21st Century and leaves it in the 19th. These are a few of the more than eighty sketches in this collection from my writer's sketchbook. The stories are not long, but they are full, and they invite you into the collaboration process. They are just right for when you have a few minutes to read, say on a train or bus, on break or at lunch, or before you go to sleep.
