    Author

    Tom Gilliland

    I'm a retired diesel mechanic from the Arizona open pit copper mines. I found that writing poetry and children's stories is a fascinating hobby. Friends and relatives seemed to like what I wrote and I also found that there was a market for good poetry and stories, so I gave it a try and sure enough I had some songs recorded and even published a couple of books. I am now looking forward to writing more books for the younger generation without all the blood, sex and cursing that they can enjoy. Wish me luck. ~~ God Bless.

      Long-ago Rabbits And The Best Of Times

      Mar 11, 2020

      I was born in 1931. My first recollection has to be my mother’s roast rabbit; I can see it now in my mind’s eye, lying there in its bronze glory before being attacked by my siblings and me. At the back of the woodshed were the ferret hutches, which t
