With 35 years spent in the funeral business, I penned my memoir book Undertakings of an Undertaker in 2015, and a new fiction short story book Tales Unleashed in 2019. I'm intrigued by 'unusual' type stories and will be presenting some here for you..please stop in often!

The book's front cover photo
Happy to announce today that my publisher Book Stand Publishing
has chosen one of many many pictures I submitted to them for the front
cover of my new short story book Tales Unleashed, and it's from the
Five Corners Cemetery....how appropriate is that! This was the little
cemetery just fifty yards from where myself, two brothers and a sister
use to play in from time to time as kids. At least two generations of
the Swans are buried there. I'm very pleased they selected this photo...
it will make Tales Unleashed even more special to me.
They are working on the cover and back cover now and I'll share it here
when it's completed. Tales Unleashed is destined for release on January 3rd.

Did he live in a time past?
Billy Anderson was a young man who kept having a recurring
dream about an accident that he had been involved with.....
not just a few weeks or years ago, but actually several
decades ago.
And now a new injury on the swing-set would puzzle everyone,
including his doctor, his mother, and Billy himself.
Time and space is a complicated realm we all live in.....
the mind and the body are inter-woven into a very complex
puzzle which we may not have all the answers for.
Read about Billy's touch with the past in the new book
Tales Unleashed....coming out in a few short weeks.
It may challenge you to re-think about where you are now...
and perhaps, where you might have been a long time ago.

It was February, 1954....
On a bright sunny day in the month of February, nine year old
Julie VanBuren would go on an ice skate that she would most
likely never forget.....
The image that appeared beneath the ice where she stood would lead her
mother to a search of historical records in and around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
McHenry creek had witnessed a tragedy...and now a visitor.
The chill that was felt that day would not be warmed by the bright
sunshine, it would only become more intense as the days passed.
You see, Julie's encounter that day on McHenry creek was one that
had been encountered by others before her.
It's a story you won't want to miss.
It's chapter 24 in the new book, Tales Unleashed, coming in a few weeks
from Book Stand Publishing....the projected release date is now
January 3rd, 2019!
