Antique Bazaar: An Echoes of Korea Love Story

by William Behr Mueller

What four men and two women had in common was The Antique Bazaar, a historic bar in Sacramento, California. Before the time of the story, Jack Higgins was wounded in Korea and taken to the 8088 MASH; James “Sailor” Fornoy was assigned to the 8088; Mark sat out the Korean War with a student deferment; and Rick was medically unfit for service in Korea. At the time of the story, Addie Booker and Mark were fired from the Welfare Department for striking. Lydia Prentiss continued working, opting not to strike. To get survival money, Jack, Sailor and Mark worked part-time at the ports of Sacramento and Stockton., while Rick had an inheritance that kept him in materials for his welding and brazing. All of their wants and needs become the essence of the story.

About the author

I live and write in Sacramento. My wife, Jerrilee, no longer teaches elementary students, rather she enjoys taking care of our grandson Owen a couple of times a week.
As a freelancer I've written over a hundred articles and stories in national magazines. I've worked at various companies producing user manuals, operator guides and reports.
Being a one-man publishing business requires more work than the initial writing. Having had experience with other publishers where words didn't come out exactly as they were written, the ins and outs of independent publishing seem much less onerous when those faux pas are kept in mind.
As you can see my fiction is wide ranging, another benefit of indie publishing. A traditional publisher would want a pigeonhole and production, neither of which is appealing.
