Take the Road to Somewhere

The 2nd Edition of this book is a compilation of writings over a fifty-year period. Billy wrote poetry and short stories since his days in high school. He took a break until he was inspired again in the early 1980s and 90s. Some of the poetry was a tribute to friends and relatives. Others were meant to be songs (which the author sings from time to time). In 1982 Billy entered a writing contest, from which came the short story 'Incident at Walkertown'. It won first place. Billy gives credit to the Lord for the works he does. Some are parables that have a deep meaning, others are based on dreams or visions of the author. Billy felt a need to compile some of his work for others to enjoy and share with their own family. He believes in a strong family unit. You can tell the author believes in God and promotes the Golden Rule. You will see old manuscripts and new stories as he has never lost his love of writing. Billy Maynard will soon be 71 years old and still feels 'the call to write.'
