Flotsam: A Boomer’s Vignettes

By Eugene Roome

Flotsam contains scenes and pictures from this baby boomer's life. My experiences are no better than anyone else's: no worse. My experiences and lessons learned directly influence my novels, for as Ayn Rand says, "When you sit down to write, you do not need to calculate everything in a slow, conscious way. Your inspiration comes to the exact extent of the knowledge you have stored."

Flotsam are those parts of the wreckage of a ship or its cargo found floating on the sea as a result of shipwreck.

My belief is if there’s no insight, mystery, and wonder in an author’s real life, how much can be found in his or her novels? -Eugene Roome

Eugene Roome

Eugene Roome grew up in the Midwest and continues to live there. Like other baby boomers, he grew up in an era without cable T.V., cell phones, or the Internet. Consequently, he learned how to entertain himself. Hopefully, his novels are able to entertain others and give them things to think about.
