Excerpts:
When Charles writes to his sister in Gumaholic, it’s because he’s worried
about his wife, Deidre: “I am embarrassed to say that Deidre has become
addicted to gum. She’s been chewing away for years ever since I gave her a
piece during our wedding reception…I guess some folks would call her a
functioning gumaholic…It’s strange to be married to a person who has an
addiction…She hides gum everywhere...”
***
“A dim light atop a lamp post hovered over the bus stop. She locked her
car…sat on the small bench and waited…a cold wind blew and attacked her thin
jacket sending shivers toward her extremities.” In Encounter, a stranded
motorist meets “a gaunt man dressed in black…’haven’t seen you here before,’
he remarks.” Before the downtown bus arrives, a strange thing happens under a
Harvest moon.
***
In Drinkin’ a Beer at the Red Dog, “the Senator worked up a mighty thirst
legislating for the good folks of Alaska…As he entered Juneau’s Red Dog
Saloon, he saw two colleagues and pulled up a chair…’Aren’t you Josiah
Wilkins from Skagway?’ asked a stranger.” That’s when the trouble began.
