Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
For years, these stories have remained widely unknown. Until now.
Tales never before told have now surfaced for the first (and perhaps last) time in this inaugural collection of short stories. The tales cover a vast range. Death. Survival. Family. Aging. History. Hubris. Custer. Evel. DB Cooper, and beyond. The Broken World is a record of life - from fracture to restoration. With just a few laughs along the way. Because that's the way life is.
