    T. J. Robertson

    Although I’ve made my living as a teacher and guidance counselor, I’ve always had a passion for writing. Thomas Bouregy and Company published my novel, Return to Paradise Cove, under their Avalon imprint. Two of my one-act plays, A Different Kind of Death, and The Flirt, have been produced, respectively, in New Haven, Connecticut, and Sacramento, California. Short stories of mine have appeared in commercial magazines such as Action and True Romance as well as in certain literary and professional ones.

      From the get-go he hadn't been fond of his boss, Sam Simpson. But, because he was the founder and owner of Sam's Supermarket, his word was law. So, all the skinny, scraggly high-school senior with the bushy red hair and freckled face could do, if he wanted to continue to work there, was bite his tongue and swallow his pride.

      Mr. Simpson, a trim and sprightly middle-aged workaholic, epitomized perpetual motion incarnate.
