Excerpt

The good doctor opens a bag that’s begun to wiggle and like a magician, pulls out a puppy. “She’s a therapy dog, a Beagle like Snoopy and certified. That’s like a college degree.”

The three humans, Anna, Jimmy with the concussion and Doc watched the four legged creature sniff all around and suddenly climb up on Jimmy’s lap to lay her paws and head under his chin. The CEO’s rough hands reached up to stroke the smooth coat of multi colors, white, brown, and some black. He searched for Anna with his eyes.

She had tears glistening, ready to fall, held under control.

About The Author

Years of experience as an actor on daytime drama, stage, spokesperson and commercials plus writing sketches for Air Force shows helped prepare me for the wonders of a writing career. Of course, I didn’t realize it at the time when immersed in the written words of others, that I was like a sponge, soaking up how to construct a scene, write dialogue, and paint the setting.

My writing effort came later when I wrote a two page story, sent it to son, Paul who commented, “Cool. Can you write ten pages?” Seemed impossible but the story poured from my fingers and seventy thousand words later, I typed The End.

I kissed my acting career goodbye, leaving on a high note with the lead in an Off Broadway play, “The Fourth Commandment” author Rich Knipe. It was great fun and time to move on. Movies like “Working Girl”, “Road to Wellsville” and having the pleasure of Anthony Hopkins company at lunch, working with Mike Nichols in “Regarding Henry” and singing outside with Harrison Ford, crying with Gene Wilder over loss on another set, “When Harry Met Sally” with the whole gang singing It Had to Be You. Lots of fond memories. My first job as stand-in leg model for Geraldine Ferraro in a Diet Pepsi commercial with Secret Service men guarding her and her daughters. A sweet time.

One last memory and a funny one at that. A casting call went out for an actor with a Betty White voice. Talent in the tri-state area scouted and I was the only one who fit the bill. A voice-over accomplished for a healthy drink for seniors; another credit added to my resume. I smile every time I see and hear Ms White on television and recall yet another sweet time.
