Kathy's Book Rights I have the right to remain silent, but of course I won't. I have the right to an Attorney, but let's hope I do not need one. And last but not least, I have the right to everything I have written in this book. This book is a work of fiction. Most of the characters and events portrayed in this book are fictitious and/or family, so any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Now, I know you are just a little bit curious as to why a women in her late 40's - very early 50's would want to start writing Short Stories. My usual response to that is, "It will look really good in a courtroom when my Attorney stands up in front of the Judge and tries to plead my insanity defense." But in truth I have to admit that my passion for writing surfaced on Mother's Day 5/12/02. It was an emotion I had never felt before. The power behind it was fueled partly by anger, while also being fanned on by a very small hangover. The story that came out of that Sunday in May has lead me to make this book. It is a collection of stories for almost every adult and if you read them all, you will find my book has encompassed every emotion I have felt since then. The first story in my book is also the first one I wrote, so be prepared for some really deep thoughts and view points. The last story in this book is the end of my stories, but at the same time it has become a new beginning to my stories (reborn). Will there be another book? You can bet on it, I am already at work getting there. You will either love me or hate me, there is no middle of the road, but too know me is to love me. I hope you enjoy the adventures. Thanks to all of you. Yours truly, Kathy L. Cox - A.K.A. (Frances)
