Surrounded by stories

the long version

"As soon as I published Tales From Toothaker, two things happened. One was that new adventures began occurring. Like the brand new motor that refused to start the first time we used it. Or the time I had to go to Rumford and left the parking lot with the boat trailer still attached. Then, when I tried backing up, I ended up causing a multitude of problems. The second thing was that people who read the book all started reminding me of other early stories ... like my mom asking about the time we had to cut off a corner of the deck because LURC said it was too close to the water. Or my nephew, Tim, talking about the log privacy wall he built before we had an enclosed outhouse. So it got me thinking ... And before I knew it, Surrounded by Stories, More Tales from Toothaker was begun."--Back cover.
