SNIPPETS n' SNAILS - stories for adults of all ages

This collection of stories for adults of all ages is about honesty, sadness and joy. Everyone endures, as I realize from many years experience in the Social Services field. I'm retired. I'm a stroke survivor, because of prayers. And I love to write. YESSSSSS! I thank God for giving me a love of writing and much is owed to my precious wife for the past thirty-six years, Esther my love, best friend, and soul mate.

Richard & Esther live in Truro, Nova Scotia. They have four children and five grandchildren.

Co-authors Richard and Esther Provencher, invite you to purchase their novels written during Richard’s recovery from a stroke, which gob-smacked him in 1999. He continues to recover through prayer; from family, friends and a precious wife.

The stories you read are composites of characters created to reflect you, and you. AND YOU. And me. We're all the same, except our heart and eyes visualize dreams from a different perspective. Enjoy. RLP
