A Christmas Carol

About this ebook
Determined to stop running and face up to his problems, Tom Roberts, the middle-aged protagonist, returns to Summerville, his home town, which he believes is the source of his angst. When he runs into Carol Peters, his old flame, reluctantly he joins her in reminiscing about their youth. Although doing so is painful, he undergoes a catharsis and leaves the town with an understanding and acceptance of his strengths and weaknesses as a human being.

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.

Those tasks having been done, ordinarily I would have shaken the dust of the place
