    The Rock Fight is a great little story of Boomers as kids, on the cusp of coming of age. The author speaks with detail and assurance about life in the 60's (the Stingray bike gave it away) where, as the author perceptively observes, the neighborhood was everything, most especially during summer vacation. All the characters, most on the verge of adolescence, ring unerringly true, with nary a false note struck. The pace of the story moves along naturally, keeping the reader's interest without gimmicks or sensationalism, the descriptions sufficiently fleshed out to create a feel of the kids, the neighborhood, the era, and the plot engages, with a believable and satisfying climax and denouement. The narration is well written in simple, accessible declarative prose, with dialogue the stuff that kids actually said to each other in that generation. In summary then, "The Rock Fight" paradoxically succeeds as it faithfully hews closely to its own modest parameters.

    This is a story about the life of my mom, Eve Fulton. I started writing letters to her, two or three a week for several years. They talked about our journey together as a family and the issues we faced. When my mom passed, a volunteer came up to me to say she read the many letters to my mom. I asked her if she kept any. She replied no. So, for the passed year or so I have copied out the stories, and placed them in a logical order. The order will become more and more apparent as the tale progresses.

    At six o'clock on Thursday mornings, a group of old timers always met at the Hardee's on Whiskey Road- the one next to the Home Depot. If they didn't have nothin' else, they knew where to get a hot cup of coffee with a few others who'd also been around the block. On the eve of the town's biggest local high school football game of the season, the men learn that their dear friend, Rick, has passed away. In remembering him, the small group reflects on their own upbringings, families, desires, regrets, and dreams. Full novella is on KDP
