About the Book
From lifelong friendships to the goings-on at a small town diner, from an old man's relationship with a small bird to a conversation between a couple of working angels; this is a journey through the imagination of a writer who crosses many genres, and dives down many laneways. People fascinate this author and his stories reflect his fascination. 29 stand alone stories tell various tales. Read how Dr. Doug battles a magpie, discover why it always rains on Sunday. Why does the devil go down to Brunswick Street, find out why Chester became a hero or discover the story behind Sam's scar. These stories are a 'slice of life', and this author will grab your attention and deliver you into a moment and leave you wondering what these characters will do with the rest of their life. If you have read 'PASSERBY' you will already be caught in Terry's web. His stories sweep you away and make you wish you knew these people, and could share in their lives. The reader will discover why finding a shoe can be as dangerous as finding a gun. Secret signals between lovers mix with insanity and determination. In the time it will take you to fry an egg you could be whisked into a world of a silent film star or immersed in an invention designed to hold a loved one's memory. So, pull up a comfortable chair, pour yourself a glass of something nice and enter the imaginary worlds that Terry creates, and you might find yourself asking if these worlds really do exist.

About the Creator
Terry Barca
Melbourne Vic' Australia
I have been a stained glass craftsman, furniture restorer, restorer of Player Pianos and music rolls, author (eleven books so far another on the way), photographer, basketball trading card manufacturer, basketball coach, basketball player, basketball referee, part-time shop assistant, newspaper columnist, homeschool dad, husband, father, grandfather, and a few other bits and pieces, and not in this order. I have been arm wrestling depression and anxiety for the better part of twenty years and I only just worked out that I’m not going to beat either of them but I do seem to be winning. I’m fascinated by people but I prefer dogs. I’m amazed that anyone does anything. I’ve learned that being still is not ‘doing nothing’.
