Snippets of a Life - a collection of short stories and cogitations (Paperback)

"Looking for financial freedom? A perfect plan to drop 25 pounds overnight? How about one simple step to have someone secretly fall in love with you? Sorry... not here, not today. There's already enough of those types of works out there (all with "the" master plan), that's why you won't find that here...." So then, what is this book about? Simply told, Snippets Of A Life is a collection of illustrated short stories, prose and reflections as told by Michael Raymond, an Operations Engineer and retired sailor from the Pacific Northwest. With tales ranging from humorous to the slightly macabre he offers up for the reader different events that, although distinctive to his life, at one time or another could relate in some form or fashion to all our lives. In sharing these stories, the author provides a different perspective of moments we all share, in the hopes that you can take time to relax and not worry so much about "where life is taking you, or why you weren't given instructions and a map at the start line...." Oh, and if you really are interested in fixing those little problems mentioned earlier, the author does offer up an easy solution for all three (it is however, inside the book, so you'll have to splurge a little).
