The Dream Stealers

By Joe Hutchison

Stephen King said, "Writing is an act of self-hypnosis, and in that state a kind of total emotional recall takes place."

THE DREAM STEALERS started out to be a long letter to my children, but as I got into the writing it evolved into a novel. I was able to relive all the sweet and bitter years of a half century ago. From the beautiful women, the club singing, the Navy camaraderie, and even the months I spent in a Naval hospital. As I delved into the writing, I could recall events and word for word conversations that I'd long ago forgotten. And then in my later years re-experiencing the preciousness of my first true love and the hurt of living the adage, "History tends to repeat itself."

"...let's just be glad we had some time to spend together..."
