Potomac County may not be on the way to anywhere, but the residents have stories to share. There’s three and a half lawmen, a very large hog, at least one slightly crazed preacher, a precocious six-year-old and his brother the heretic, an overzealous ex-air raid warden, a visiting Florida debutante with a fake accent, and an old man and his terrier. Finally, you’re at Someplace Else, a beachside bar unlike any other. Kick back and stay awhile.

I have met, spoken to, and shared stories with Vietnam veterans. Most were combat troopers and warriors. Some combat veterans are now authors and have written books about their war. They lived it and survived it. Theirs are war stories. Mine are stories set in that place during that time.In these stories, you will meet soldiers, deserters, truckers, dopers, drinkers, veterans, and Teamsters. You’ll find them to be philosophical, erudite, crude, likeable, and possibly despicable. They are all these things and more. Few are identified by their real names and many are a composite of more than one person. The stories are my fiction, the characters are not.

Reunited with an old friend, Victor discovers there is something fishy going on with the towns people. This discovery starts an investigation full of mystery and excitement.
