I just love writing short storoes

Here is a short sample from the book:

Jack Deland's Disappearance
Jack Deland wasn’t a man afraid to speak his mind. He had no affiliation to any church or any other organization. And it wasn’t because he was a social outcast or anything like that, he preferred to live a simple life. He was one of about four village tailors at a time when a man could still make a living from this profession. Jack drank a fair amount of liquor and when he wasn’t tailoring he was in a bar, raising hell. He had just turned sixty, wasn’t married, but lived with a woman about his age. He lived at a time when it wasn’t fashionable for a man to marry a woman who had been cohabiting with him for years.
