Letting the Mind Wander
by Jamieson Wolf

   Where does your mind go when you let it wander?
I have been a writer for what seems like forever
In that time, I've written about a lot of things: ghosts, forgiveness, danger, the tenderness of the human heart. Always these subjects have been surrounded by the soft blanket of fiction that let me go anywhere and write anything
   Often, in between writing chapters on my current work or editing a galley, my mind wanders of its own accord and I find myself writing something other than speculative fiction. I find myself writing observations, what I call thought pieces, on whatever inspires me.

    Letting the Mind Wander collects together articles, columns and personal anecdotes on Life, Writing and Books. Within its pages is something to inspire everyone whether they love to write or love to read.

What Day Is Today?
My Life in the Minor Leagues
 
by Kenny Beck

   "What I’m about to tell you isn’t a typical baseball story. I don’t limp off the bench and hit a game-winning home-run in the World Series. I didn’t throw a perfect game in my last ever start, nor do I mentor some bonus-baby with a million-dollar-arm and two-cent head so he can mature and make it to the big leagues. And I promise you that I don’t end up playing catch with my dad in an Iowa cornfield at the end of this either. "
    So Begins Kenny Beck's tale
 as he follows the dream of every every young boy, who hopes one day to play in the "Big"  leagues. Even though his was a short-lived career, it taught Kenny a great deal about life and left him with the satisfaction of not saying "I wish I could play baseball in the big leagues," but "When I played in the big leagues."

Memoirs Of An Insignificant Dragon
By Marjorie Doughty

   Civilian families were in Vietnam before the military arrived and when Vietnam fell. Much has been written about the "blood and guts" role of the military, but little about other Americans who were there during the war era. That American women were a part of the scene comes as a surprise to most people. They had to fight their own battles behind the lines while ordered to ignore the tragedy of war and "bombs bursting in air." It was difficult enough living in Vietnam as a cohesive family. But after evacuation from that country, lengthy separations from husbands who stayed behind to work sometimes resulted in strained relationships and/or divorces. But these women stood tall during the good and bad times.
