After several weeks of last minute editing and Formatting
Hell, my book is finally complete! I don’t know how they do it, but the brains
behind Microsoft Word have somehow managed to hide all kinds of demonic spaces
and evil margin ghosts that appear in my writing the closer I get to finishing
my manuscript. Fortunately, there is plenty of help available online, because
an instructional manual that covers all the issues I have encountered might not
fit through my door. Or maybe I’m just too dumb to format a simple document.
Anyway, I have successfully checked every last comma and exorcised
all the format ghosts and demons and bravely clicked the Publish button once again.
Now if only someone will read the thing!

Here’s the final book description:
Have
you ever lived in a small town? Worked at a small school or church? Maybe a drive-in?
Life moves at a slow pace in the small Texas
town of Eastlake, as portrayed in this collection of short stories spanning six
decades. For most folks, the school calendar drives the social calendar and on
Friday nights, everyone turns out to support their hometown Eagles, but from
1957 to the present, Sully’s Drive-In
has always been the town’s true center.
Cole Bradford
comes to Eastlake as a young, single coach and returns later as the embattled
principal of the intermediate school. Ron
Copeland is the veteran administrator who has spent more than half his life
as the principal of Eastlake High School until he encounters a new
superintendent with whom he immediately finds conflict. Evan Peters is the football coach and later Athletic Director with
character issues aplenty. Cora, his wife, has her own set of problems and
nowhere to turn for help. Christopher
Manning is the pastor at the First Baptist Church, although we first meet
him in the role of youth minister. Amy Davis, Brent Griffen, Ty Mills, and the
Holder family also live and work in the community.
Come to Eastlake and spend some
time enjoying the quiet life and getting to know the locals.
