This series of short stories and anecdotes entitled "There Was No Linkin' To What I Was Thinkin'," has been a wonderful and exciting trip for me. The stories in this book deal with a variety of subjects. Some are factual, true stories, while others are written with tongue placed firmly in cheek. I have called upon my life experiences for much of the material in my short stories. Many tales are drawn from my experiences as a young boy roaming the hills of northeast Arkansas, while others are from my having been a gospel preacher's son and the experiences related to that phase of my life. Many of the stories will make you laugh while others might bring a trear to your eye. However you react to the collection of stories, it has been an exciting trip with many great and wonderful times with family and friends.
