    About this ebook

    What's a new car cost anyway?

    "It was after seven already and Mary and I were supposed to take the insurance money down to the car lot and get her a new mini-van. One with a functioning fuel pump this time. Which would be a problem since the insurance money is never enough to buy another car like the one’s been wrecked."

I am anxious to learn what people think.It is interesting to see "Jake" lagging my other stories in downloads as it is the only story to actually have been published.I know, I never charged before. But I am trying Google books and I think I *have* to charge. In any event, if this fails, I'll make them free again...thanks for reading.

      Nov 2, 2022
