The Dream Stealers

Stephen King said Writing is an act of self-hypnosis and in that state a kind of total emotional recall takes place.<p><i>THE DREAM STEALERS</i> started out to be a long letter to my children but as I got into the writing it evolved into a novel. I was able to relive all the sweet and bitter years of a half century ago. From the beautiful women the club singing the Navy camaraderie and even the months I spent in a Naval hospital. As I delved into the writing I could recall events and word for word conversations that I'd long ago forgotten. And then in my later years re-experiencing the preciousness of my first true love and the hurt of living the adage History tends to repeat itself. However another adage applies: Betterto have loved and lost than to have never loved.<p>...let's just be glad we had some time to spend together...<p>{For The Good Times}
