Welcome to my new book, The Rats of Plainville: Tales from the Heartland.
I wrote my collection of short stories over a two-year span. All stories take place in the Heartland of the Mississippi River Valley – encompassing a triangular area between St. Louis, Missouri, Quincy, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. The stories are for the most part figments of my imagination that were developed while working in the area.
I self-published my book using Amazon’s publishing tools. The book is available in paperback or Kindle (eBook) formats. The links where you can learn more and purchase a copy are:
I’ll continue to update this page with stories about the stories – where I came up with the ideas, where and when I wrote them, and notes about the people and places in the stories.
