About the Book

This book is looking at yourself through the five (5) Ws. The why, the when, the who, the where, and the what. Why these factors entered your life, how they affected your life, the reason or logic behind them in your life, trying to explain your life's action, and the real reality of them in your life in the first place, or in this case how all these factors contributed to me in making me who I am, and the right and wrong of my actions taken.


About the Author

I was born in the small town of St. Thomas, Ontario, some sixty-six years ago. As in all small towns, everyone knows everyone else's business and their secrets. Consequently there is no end to gossip and rumors. This can actually aid a writer with some good material if they so choose to incorporate these happenings into their writing. I am just adding this “food for thought” for all the upcoming and future writers to consider. I worked for the provincial government for thirty years and retired at the ripe old age of fifty, as per the government's eight-point policy (age plus years of service). Not knowing what to do with myself and all this free time on my hands, I became a parking lot attendant at the local college in London (Fanshawe College) and worked there for ten additional years, speaking with a variety of people. Again, this is a good source for book material if one wanted to pursue “writing a book.” I decided I wanted a new adventure in my life's journey and decided to write because it had always been on my bucket list of things I wanted to try before I met my Maker. Following is a list of some of the books I have written if you have the inclination to check out what I have accomplished on the web. Now You Have Her . . . Now You Don't I wrote this book as a tribute to my wife, who died from cancer in 2004. That Single Moment This book deals with the emotions of loving someone special and with the healing process one goes through to restart a personal life. Estate Planning and Executor's Guide This “workbook” layout deals with the preparation and organization of your own affairs before death and before you visit your lawyer to prepare your final will. Life. Lust. Love. In this book, I tried to “enlighten” the reader about how “inept” I was in the pursuit of someone special to share my life. My utopia was to find someone to go through life's ups and downs with as we built special memories. Smiles, Poems, Thoughts to Ponder I hope you enjoy my latest book and that it gives you some smiles, some laughs, and some things to think about. It may even help you to avoid some pitfalls and help you enjoy your time on this earth.
