HODGE PODGE

<p>HODGE PODGE is an extension of my imagination. It is a collection of stories I made up to entertain my grandkids and to test my ability as a writer. Most of the plots are fairly simple but I have tried to make them sensible and to follow an understandable pattern although for the most part on re-reading I have over-used a bloody finish for most of my characters. I hope I have made my descriptive passages descriptive and distortions of realities believable.</p><p>When I first started writing prose my intent was to see if I had the skills to do so. I went back into the notes and stories I had stored away (I'm quite the pack rat) and found some that might be worked into a passable book. I put my poetry aside (I had iUniverse publish <I>Light Verse & Limericks</I>) and decided that I had enough prose material to appease my ego. Thus <I>HODGE PODGE</I> materialized to satisfy me so that I could leave something else to posterity in book form.</p>
