Snippet:
Foreword from Stevie-girl and the Phantom Pilot (book one)
It was the late 60s. The Beatles
had washed across America like a British tsunami, Vietnam was a grainy, green
and black dose of unreality on the evening news, a bunch of hippies had taken
over San Francisco, and there was a heck of a rainstorm pouring down on
Woodstock, NY. But I didn’t know all that then.
I was a little bit lost, looking
for something. I swear I didn’t go looking for a ghost...well, okay, maybe I
did. But I didn’t expect to find one. Heck, I was just a kid. I didn’t expect
much of anything.
