Just for Fun: A Little Sexton and Some Other Stuff

by David J. Steele

This is vintage stuff, a collection of early pieces written when I was developing as a writer. Most of the pieces are fantasy, a couple are humor, and one--my favorite--is my journal from the nine weeks I spent on an archeology dig in Peru in 1987, when Peru wasn't a stable country. I chose the cover image because it looks a lot like the Urabamaba river, where I took a swim I didn't want to take to save the life of a man who also took a swim he didn't want to take. We both made it out...but it was a long time before either one of us wanted to swim again. I also included a partial Sexton manuscript that will never see completion. I included it because it has a fun premise, one you can play with in your imagination.
