“Just remember, Steve… the first three letters in ‘funeral’ are F-U-N.”It would have been prudent for the needy young man looking for work to get through college in the 1960s to look past a Cheshire Cat smile while his soon-to-be boss was selling him on the job. But no-o-o-o-o... he didn’t, so began a two-year adventure that, for him, gave whole new meaning to “the dead of night” and produced a uniquely revealing account of life as a mortician’s apprentice.Voiced in the vernacular of a callow farm kid (with dead cows and butchered chickens providing uncanny pre-people training), his memories and musings include important life lessons, eye-opening (actually, closing) details of the embalming process, holy-cow coroner’s cases, and even some dab-your-eyes love stories. His vividly illustrated experiences tease all the senses (some readers say even the olfactories), plus take heads and hearts on a madcap roller coaster ride — all while holding the safety bar tight with humor.On a more solemn note… based on the author’s observations of the many families the mortuary served, a critical issue was revealed — survivors wholly unprepared to live alone — that is still largely unsettled today. Therefore, as a gift to all, he has developed a LIFE-ALONE PLANNER, a practical guideline to be completed by each partner for the other.

Set in rustic folklore, the story is a kind of anthropological baptism in the harsh realities of life as seen through the eyes of the ultimate outsider - a quintessential forest "sprite," - a feral thing who knows only her solitary, idyllic existence until the wider world begins to destroy everything she ever held sacred.Forced out of her seclusion, Baggily desperately ventures into a world of "others," rife with greed, vulgarity and spite, in an attempt to protect the bliss of her secret life. Yet through her physical journey to save her Wood, she becomes ever changed in heart and mind, and is eventually faced with unforeseen and gut-wrenching personal dilemmas; Even if she succeeds, what then? Should she return to her past or accept a new future? Where does she belong in this world? Who is she?Who are we? Where do we belong? These are primal questions. And through her asking these things, the book examines other issues; the coming of age, spirituality and faith, our environment, love and rejection, the feeling of being different, and the power of being positive. And from a stylistic standpoint, being an audiophile and coming from a music background, I wrote Baggily not just as a prosaic and philosophical endeavor, but also, a lyrical and ambient one, whose tone resonates.
