    About this ebook

    Dare to take a glimpse or two into Johnny's madness. But just far enough so there's a pretty good liklihood you'll come back. That is ... with a little help from Johnny's shrink, who's trying to convince Johnny he's dead--in fact is a ghost! If you do come back, you'll have been well-entertained. If you don't--well, Johnny does have an interesting mind, and his shrink's office is rather cozy.

    Jay Squires

    A writer, a salesman, an optimist, a dreamer. May the four always cohabit and produce wondrous progeny. His hope is that his writing, here, exemplifies that for you. He is married and writes out of Bakersfield, California. ************************************************* The recipe for the young achiever: When you sit, sit. When you stand, stand... But don't wobble. Meet an inveterate old wobbler. Decry me if you will, but, life can be more interesting among the brambles a little bit off the beaten path.
