If I were a musical artist, this would be my "Greatest Hits" album. But, as a writer, this is a collection of some of my best short stories, articles from my Facebook blog (My Window To The World), and editorial stories I've written for various newspapers over the years. I've chosen to not include any of my historical writings in the book, but rather make it more of a light-hearted, entertaining book that anyone can enjoy. Randy Linss was born on January 13, 1958, in Clinton, Missouri. His cherished boyhood experiences of growing up in a picturesque storybook village of a slower, simpler day provide much of his writing inspiration today. He was a 1976 graduate of Cole Camp High School before studying creative writing at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri.His adult years have been spent in various entrepreneurial ventures across the upper Midwest. He has lived his entire life in Missouri cities, including Columbia, Jefferson City, and Rolla, before retiring to his current home in Clinton, near the shores of Truman Lake, where he and his partner and proofreader, Beverly, enjoy a simple, quiet life.His hobbies include reading, writing, hiking, bicycling, and following his beloved St. Louis Cardinals.
