About this ebook
Lightning In The Western Sky takes a brand new and completely different look at what happens when a salesman, Mitch Cooper, comes across a magic oil lamp. He is initially skeptical of the mythical properties of the lamp, but curiosity gets the better of him and he eagerly contemplates his anticipated three wishes. However he is completely surprised to learn from the "genie" that instead getting three wishes, he has to grant three wishes. He is given a six month deadline to fulfill his tasks, but is hindered by not being able to ask anyone to make a wish. He has to wait until he hears someone wishing for something and then grant it. He is told that should he fail to grant the wishes in the prescribed time frame, then three of his worst nightmares will come true. To complicate matters even further he has to juggle the demands of the "genie" with a crumbling relationship with his wife, and demanding job.

I'm a Chicago native that has driven from coast to coast three times, (living in many places in between) and finally anchored in Tennessee. I served in the United States Navy as a hospital corpsman, (medic), and did a three year tour with the United States Marine Corps as a combat trained medic. After the service, I pursued a retail career and have been constantly involved with that in one capacity or another, (mainly store manager or district manager), and even tried my own personalized products business for a few years. I've always enjoyed writing, but my job and family always seemed to consume most of my time. One day I added novel publication to my bucket list, and shortly thereafter I dedicated myself to writing on a daily basis and have been doing so ever since. My first story was actually published in Evergreen magazine as a non-fiction piece about 20 years ago. I've also dabbled with poetry, but nothing too serious.
