There's nothing I love more than a trip to the beach, and I get there as often as possible. The sand, the sun, the sea, and the smell of the salty air are the inspirations for what I write. Whether it be a novel, a short story, or the poems in this book, they all come from the beach. Most of what's in this book was written while sitting in the sand, or on a balcony overlooking the water. With a tequila, Seven, and lime in one hand, and a cigar in the other, these are the things that run through my mind. I hope you enjoy these very short stories that happen to rhyme.
