Tales of Reflection (ePub)

It seems that I have been in the communication business all my life.



I moved from German to English at the age of two, wrote my first poem in the fifth grade, strived for Colorado newspapers for more than twenty years (in a variety of capacities), aided in setting up and working for the communication system (dispatch and 911) of the Black Hawk Police Department. I have published ten volumes of short stories and poetry. All this writing has been about me and my journey and the times a fantastical trip through multihued glasses and multileveled planes. Yet, somehow I managed to keep my actual self removed.



This book is about myself, pure and simple. It is a chronological attempt at explaining where I came from and the times through which I moved. It truly is a book no one else could write. It is a book full of pathos and full of humor, full of fear, and I hope, full of love. It covers the post-World War II 1950s, through the turbulent 1960s, which gave birth to the dramatic 1970s, then brings me up-to-date through the 1980s, '90s, into the current decade. Though it is about me, I see it offering a visual flavor of the times, what they were, and perhaps, why so many of us acted as we did and became what we are.



I hope the book will touch everyone, sparking memories, piquing emotions, illuminating shadows, and/or touching a scab or two. Mostly, I hope this book will entertain and crack a multitude of smiles.



It is my life, spread out like a blanket for a picnic. You are all invited.
