Imagine the concept of tuning a radio to different stations. As the reader flips through the dial (turns the page), one frequency is a light whimsical poem, and the turning of the nob brings a sad and thought-provoking analogy of growing old, and next, the warm special-enjoyment of holding someone's hand. The reader will enjoy turning the dial and observing the life of two doves, and later, observing two ducks. (Yep, you're "gonna hafta" buy the book to read these fine works of literature.) As you read; enjoy "turning a knob" and finding something heartwarming, or tear jerking, or humorous or enlightening, or brilliant (well maybe not too bright) observations of life. I Promise, you will look forward to "changing the frequency", as you adjust the dial in "Channels of Delight". Born in Bluefield, West Virginia, much of Dan's young life was spent in the Appalachian Mountains. Leaving home after high school, He joined the Air Force.
