I wrote a version of Mr. Galaxy's Unfinished Dream back in 1998 but never showed it to anyone because it was so bad. I had worked on it in spurts in spare moments in the midst of raising a family and working a less than fulfilling full-time job. But the idea stayed with me and I finally was able to incarnate it and get it published in December 2017.

What triggered the idea was a family wedding in rural Pennsylvania that took place in the 1980's. At the time I was a struggling young husband and father beset with a number of personal challenges posed by my new state of life and the expectations that came with it. The rural setting and circumstances proved irresistible to my highly active imagination.
