Yes, the '60s WERE amazing. That was the decade in which I met my wife and eventually got married, finished my graduate work, performed research in Antarctica, spent two years in the Army, and had my first daughter (with some help, of course hahaha), Anything was possible. And yes, I've written about it (The Antarctic Murders Trilogy), Frankly, when I think back, I think of the '50s and '60s as the best of times.

And what about books that are given away on Goodreads' Giveaways? People who win those may or may not be Amazon customers? Besides, aren't they fostering the very environment they now want to squelch?

Hey, Guys and Gals!
I'm dedicating this week's story to my wife's and my good friend, US Army CPT Jimmy Adamouski, who was killed in April, 2003, when his Black Hawk was shot down in the invasion of Baghdad. You can read my Flash Fiction story and vote here:
