Summary:This is a story I wrote some time ago (mid-to-late '70s). After I wrote it I attempted to get it published, received rejections each time I submitted it, then shelved it. After joining this site recently, I decided to post it here to see if it has any merit, which I believe, or none, which the editors who rejected it seem to believe.
Note: On attempting to insert the story text, I was informed it was "Over Limit" so it will be published in two parts.Chapters: |

Summary:Note: This is the same vignette in the life of Alphonse (Al) Bonet that was originally title "Mekong Delta--1969". I was informed Marines did not operate in that area, so I changed the location. I was never in country in Vietnam so just picked an area at random. All my experiences with that war were gathered second-hand from patients in hospitals in San Diego, California and in Charleston, South Carolina.
This segment of Al's story occurs after he joins the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam.Chapters: |

Summary:Actually, this is not a novel but either a long short story or part of a novella or, when coupled with "Possom Grape Wine" and "Ruby and the Wall," simply a continuation of one story. In this offering, Wyatt Henderson, son of Ruby Gutterman, comes to Caroline, Missouri, to visit his mother and stepfather on their farm near the town. Yet the first person Wyatt meets in Caroline is Jim Johannson, tavern owner and the narrator of the Caroline stories. What follows covers a friendship that survives over a period of several years. In part one, Wyatt meets Jim Johannson and they develop a relationship as hunting partners. Part two covers several years, in which Wyatt joins the Navy, becomes a Navy Seal and is wounded in Vietnam. Also featured is Ruby and Charles Gutterman, who move away from Caroline but sell their farm to Wyatt. Part three covers the first few years of Wyatt's ownership of the property.Chapters: |
