After 20 years in the trenches, I have decided to retire from competitive writing at the end of 2022. However, I did finish strong. After a six-year journey to completion, I finished my most exhausting and emotional project: Winds of Discontent. In the spring, a short story I worked on grew into a short novel I thought would be a nice ebook, although we also created a trade paperback: Some Don’t Come Back. Both books are now available. I have also re-tooled an older novel, my very first manuscript, into an updated and refreshed story, which I have posted on the Stories+ page of my website. Of course, this does not mean I will stop writing. In fact, earlier this year I set up the Stories+ page on the site, where I have posted several shorts, essays, and articles I had created over the years for everyone to view and enjoy. As other stories or essays develop in the future, I will simply post those to the site without hesitation. Thank you for your support over the years and I hope you check back often to see what’s new.

What if you met the woman of your dreams, but she lived 100 years ago? In a moment of crippling despair, Jack Slater is given the opportunity of living the year 1920 to experience what life would have been like compared to 2020. While there, he interacts with a woman. A woman he could not possibly have imagined would ever have anything to do with him. They fall in love and spend an incredible year together. Their love growing by the day. However, he must return to the present on New Year’s Eve 1920. Could he return? Would he leave knowing he would never see her again? Jack Slater must face that decision. Will he come back? Or will he stay forever in 1920?

Excerpt

"Did you know, not everybody missing actually is. Some don’t come back. They are not missing at all, just not here anymore."

Jack Slater—Jonathan Slater III—stood dressed in a tux, including a face cummerbund. A mask designed like a tux cummerbund. His six-foot, 175-pound frame filled the tux quite nicely. He looked at the old Gypsy woman before him not sure why he stood here. Or what he expected to accomplish.

"Really? You want to clarify what the hell you just said."

The old Gypsy woman sat back in her chair.

"Some. Don't. Come. Back. What's there to clarify?" She looked him up and down. "The real question is, why are you here?"

Jack glanced around the room. The menu board appeared first, the face plastic yellowed with time, but the black letters and numbers still prevailed. A "Slice" at the top followed by "The Deuce," two slices and right below a one dollar up charge for a "Mix and Match." In other words, if you chose a pepperoni and a cheese slice it would be a buck extra. Next line, "A Whole Pie," with a price of TBD. Next listed the "Standard," two tacos, a "Threesome," three tacos and the dreaded upcharge for a mix and match, also a buck. They offered ground beef and chicken tacos, not much of a mix. Jack smiled as he remembered back to what this place used to be.
