The transformative power of love is another one that's of great interest to me. I've been hit especially hard over the last 8 months with the loss of three of the most important people in my life. These mysteries are the one that are most compelling to me at this time. I'm working on a memoir now. These issues are driving me to keep writing, living, loving, and working. Please write if you have any further questions. All best, Rita Buckley aka Charles Maxwell (less)

New Review for Mr. Chiardi & Other Stories

This time Raquel Thorne from the literary journal Cahoodaloodaling reviewed Mr. Chiardi & Other Stories.

She wrote that, "Maxwell has a fun narrating voice somewhere between Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends, William Goldman's The Princess Bride, and Douglas Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...a steal at $2.99. Somber beware."

“From Time for College - Mr. Chiardi & Other Stories

It was time for Junior to go to college. He’d sprouted pubic hair and was eyeing all the girls.
“I want to go to college,” he said.
“Yes,” I replied, “It’s time.”
His mother, my wife, was resigned to the fact that it was time for Junior to leave the nest. She sat on a stool at the granite kitchen counter, spiked coffee beside her, reading The New York Times. She looked almost real.”
