His imaginative voice and ironic humor will send you from down-to-earth to way, way out there; from real-life dragons to imaginary whales; from cops to counterculture; from geezer-hood to childhood, and from Armageddon to Shangri La. This is an exploration of fear as the motivator: the thumbtack on the chair that moves us to action, ignites our minds, and fills our hearts and lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuy Rowley was born and raised in Parowan, Utah. He attended Southern Utah University, grew his hair down to his waist, hung out with the Art majors and back-to-nature crowd, and earned his BA in English Literature. He knew English Lit wasn't likely to earn him a living, but in those days he could live in a twenty-five dollar a month apartment on rice and gravy and dandelion greens. He spent a forty-year career as a Professional Land Surveyor in Utah and California, was married and divorced twice, and gained two stepsons and a daughter to love. He is no longer skinny and is recently retired and living in Palm Desert, California, hiking, reading, writing, volunteering, and eating popcorn at the movies. A few of guy's poems and stories were published at SUU and he has recently won several writing competitions with his flash fiction. This is his first published collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 27, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42128756473991,"sku":"9780997083804","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/228009d009ad63be50b9488006d1e8c2.webp?v=1732597929","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/peace-and-love-and-fear-of-life-flash-fiction-by-guy-rowley-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
