Enjoying word usage

By Edward G. Schultz, author of "Morgan's Mission", "Christmas Stories For Adults" and "Poems For Those Who Don't Like Poetry". I was an avid listener to Bob Steele's radio show for more than 30 years, so naturally I enjoyed his book. But I really believe that any one who appreciates word usage, pronunciation and origin of words will thoroughly enjoy Bob's book. Before retiring I had ambitions to become an author. I did finally get out my first novel, "Morgan's Mission", a tale based on actual early California history. Listening to Bob Steele all those years and then reading his book, helped me a great deal in my writing. I really mean that! Bob not only inspired me but he also caused me to have more determination to finish the book that I had started. Since then I have published two more books and hope to have another released by the end of 2008. Another part of Bob Steele's book is a biography of Bob's very interesting life, incidents that occured during his 65 year radio career, (one of the longest of all radio personalities) an insight into his great sense of humor and a sampling of how radio changed during those 65 years. Bob was elected to the Radio Hall Of Fame about a year before his death at age 90+. Bob's book is very enjoyable reading, and very educational too!
