The Quadrangle

About the Book

This work is a short but poignant compendium illustrating only a few of the intricacies of several lives. Every story is a saga guaranteed to hold you spellbound. Snippets they are of the lives of people, like you and me. “When War and Peace is far too much, and a sample is just right, it’s simple stories such as these that quench our appetite.”

About the Author

From an early age Don wrote short stories and poems. As a 14-year-old freshman he produced and directed a class play, The Lonesome Bear, scripted from their freshman literature book.
