Inhaltsangabe

Avondale, South Carolina is a quiet little town where the people live in peaceful harmony. Charlie and Mary Duncan chose Avondale for their last home. After serving 30 years in the navy on aircraft carriers as a master mechanic, Charlie wants to roam no more. As a registered nurse, Mary can earn employment almost anywhere. With Mary working a full week, Charlie uses Monday and Friday to clean their little comfortable cottage and maintain the half-acre yard. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday he stays busy with his small company, Three Days Home Repair. Charlie can build or repair almost anything but if the job requires more than three days; it is too big for Charlie Duncan. Their favorite place in the cottage is the glass and screen enclosed L-shape front porch. Cooled in the summer and heated in the winter, the Duncan’s and their two cats, Pepper and Pokey live their own quiet lives. These short stories start and end on the front porch of the Azalea Cottage. Each describes some of people living in Avondale that touch the lives of Charlie and Marry Duncan. Some are happy and funny. Others might make you cry or reflect on your own life. Other times you might say, “I know someone just like that character.” Tales From The Azalea Cottage can bring a short period of peace and contentment to your own hectic personal life. Each chapter is a single story. Sit back. Relax, and enjoy!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

At 15 years of age, Mike Gilmore started working for his uncle’s wholesale firm selling candy and tobacco products to small, family owned grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants. He became the general manager by the time he was 23. It was a male dominated business at the time, and he worked with men who had lived through the Great Depression and World War II. From their personal lives, he learned the work ethics he still uses today. In 1986, he shifted to the wholesale electrical and plumbing distribution business where he started to learn his current trade. He filled positions as operation manager, branch manager, and regional branch manager in Ohio, Florida, and finally the coastal area of South Carolina. In 2003, he took a position with one of the world’s largest and most respected manufactures of plumbing fixtures for both residential and commercial products. He has worked as an account manager, market development specialist, and now as a national account manager, servicing only one trade distributor that covers the United States, Mexico, and Canada with a sales force of over 1,100 associates. He is the author of five “Levels of Power” novels featuring United States Senator Randy Fisher. He released a little gem called “The Toilet Salesman…The Oh So Necessary Guy”. The book covers incidents from 25 years of selling plumbing and electrical products. In between the Levels of Power novels, he started the SLED Investigation series with The Lace House Murder and The Capital Center Murder. With his wife Cheryl, they wrote a science fiction novel titled 12-24-36. He lives with his wife and two cats in South Carolina. Their names are Pokey and Pepper.
