Seven short stories from this author to keep you guessing and glued to each page waiting for the other shoe to drop. Each story has it's own flavor of a pendulum swinging from one suspensful moment to the next. If you have a weak constitution, you should avoid reading this book, because it takes you through multiple ranges of emotional raw nerves. Every character will leave you with an impression of someone from your own existance...sometimes too close for comfort. There is a surprise connection only to be discovered at the end, yet it is a book you will want to read again, just not before you sleep.About the Author: Mr. Patterson has been writing technical papers and manuals for many years. In 2000, a very dark period of his life, he began writing poetry and short stories, more for therapy than profit. Several of his poems have been published and he has won two regional writing contests for his short stories. A new novel is currently underway and promises to be a page turner that keeps you in suspense up until the very end.
