Overview

Often amusing, laugh out loud funny in parts, sometimes thought-provoking, and occasionally tear jerking, Can You Come Back Next Week? is an account of one young collector/salesman's exploits and adventures selling goods on credit door to door in the poorer areas of Glasgow in the 50s and 60s. If you lived through those times, you will find memories galore in these words, and for those who did not, it proves an evocative glimpse into a time past, where a radiogram which loaded ten records at once was the height of luxury, to be paid for scrupulously week on week, even though your kids ran around in vests and bare bums. Set upon by a sword-wielding maniac, dangled from a twenty-first storey balcony, and being offered it on a plate in lieu of payment - life in the Credit Trade was certainly never dull!

Author Information

I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. A natural singer-songwriter from an early age, my interest in physics and astronomy were inspired by both early visits to Lincoln's Hyde observatory and by the 1977 release of George Lucas' Star Wars which caught my imagination alongside with Arthurian legends and medieval songs and tales. During my freshman year at the University of Nebraska, I discovered the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, inspiring me to write my sonnet Why Bilbo? which the American Tolkien Society published in 1991. More publications followed as my skill for writing increased with my education and life experience. Today, I am mostly known for my non-fiction work, particularly for Yahoo Voices . I am also a living history re-creator with the Society for Creative Anachronism where I am known for my research writing and my particular interest in medieval aviculture and other medieval sciences. I also enjoy period dancing (including English country dancing), singing, and herbalism. The Peers of Beinan is my first science fiction series.
