Blue Lake and Selected Short Stories
1. Blue Lake––is a story that should warms the heart of the reader. Whimp, a crippled resident living in rural mountain poverty, meets a bank president fishing. One man fishes to survive, the other for sport. When they help each other, both men are rewarded.
2. Money Hill––Local folks have good reason to avoid the cave on a mountain they call Money Hill. Visitors that had gone there refused to talk about their experience. Rumors said a treasure in gold was hidden inside the cave guarded by a powerful ghost. Robert McKenna was employed for the summer on a farm that bordered the mysterious mountain. On a dare from the farmer Robert agreed to visit the cave. He barely survived. This is his story.
3. Breaking Rules—Confidentially is a cardinal rule in the world of banking. It takes a certain type person willing to break that rule and with impeccable reason.
4. Bean’s Cove––recalls heritage of Old World immigrants. Traits inherited from ages past still survive in hidden hamlets and rural places long forgotten by politicians. These hardy people live simple lives respectful to their neighbors. Such is the tale of folks in the small village of Bean’s Cove. If you enjoy a laugh or a glance back memory lane, that’s okay too.
5. Clay Pigeons—can’t really fly or eat vegetable gardens, but try to tell that to one irate woman!
6. Ghost of Wegroan County. Folks of Wegroan County began missing things when Hose Winters moved his brood to an abandon shed on Fikes’ Ridge. Winters, who has never worked a day in his life, intends to stay as long as neighbors provide his needs. Local ‘good ole boys’ devised a plan to change his mind.
7. Haunted Mansion––Stories of the spiritual world seems to always fascinate elements of the public. Perhaps that is why members of the Bedford Road Vagabonds set mischievous sights on Blakley Mansion. The eloquent building stood vacant that once offered hospitality to famous and talented guests. If anyone doubted tales the house was haunted, women members of a church choir could attest that it was so—except maybe for one woman.
