Wayfarer is an anthology of twelve short stories and three poems. I used the title of Wayfarer because the stories came to me while traveling to different places in the world. For example, The India Ring came to me while my wife and I were watching a Frenchman doing a pantomime in an empty swimming pool in Agra, India. The Wager came to me while watching cock fights in Aguascalientes, Mexico. And The youngest Hero came to me as a dream. One story was the experience of a friend's experience In Vietnam when he was saved by playing a battle-worn piano in an old French Mission. What is interesting to me is that these stories came to me unprompted from my surroundings and I have no idea why they came or from where.
