Mike Grayson's intent was to get away from it all, to become a recluse. Mike wanted to get away from responsibilities, away from the Army, away from people. He runs into and becomes involved with many obstacles to his peace and quiet. The spooks come out and it isn't even Halloween.
It takes place on a farm on Mystery Mountain.
Excellent story by 'Dual Writer' of Florida Friends. Mike is still incredibly lucky/successful but confines himself to a single wife [unusual for DW]. While excellent as a stand-alone, at the end it teases about a sequel. However, DW has had significant health issues and has not responded to a 'You are missed' sent a year back. I fear he has departed for the land of happy Muses.

His last blog entries were in late 2020.

I'm still alive and still confined to home because there is nowhere to go. No Covid-19 here, even tested negative. I've driven to the dentist and hair salon that's just reopened. I was going to buzz cut it with home clippers.
The wife is still working nights at the post office fixing machinery (six nights a week and often an additional two hours end tour so she sleeps most of the day.} She couldn't go visit her Mom in upstate New York because she would be quarantined for two weeks and wouldn't be able to fly home to go back to work. She is radically disappointed.
I read books of all varieties but have included a lot of SOL stories. I have just completed a re-read of Florida friends.
I like my own stories and read them thinking I'll tickle the Muse into helping me write and finish LA Fun. I do have a chapter started but my typing is so slow my mind and Muse loses interest. I do have a couple of chapters begun for Mystery Mountain but keep losing track of where I am.
Here's the cold hard facts. (I hate to admit these)
*My mental acuity still sucks. The VA docs say they have good drugs to keep me alive but don't have a magic pill to help the brain.
*Motor skills are slowly improving but the hands still don't work. Picking things up is difficult sometimes. (Like a fork or cutting up veggies.
*I'm not falling but I still get tilted easily. (All this and I passed my driver's license test wife insisted I take.) I asked the VA flight surgeon to give me a good certificate. He's still laughing.
I appreciate all of the notes sent. Most of my stories are good entertainment on your reader while waiting for an appointment. I'll work on finishing LA Fun and some decent short stories.
Thanks to all of you who read my stories. Stay well."

Of course, but we too would have to be informed and able to confirm a contributors passing.
