Description


Perry Cozzen has compiled a collection of 12 short stories for his book, "Further West". His west Texas drawl spills over into his writing and transports you to a place in time, further west, so “flat you can see the back of your head standing on a tuna can”, as Perry would say. The short stories in this book are fiction, well maybe half-truth, and are based on a way of life where the people made the most out of what they had and of what they could dream of having. Perry can twist a tale of vivid imagination and it’s prevalent in two particular stories, “Lou and Hal” and “Mother Nature”. When you read this book, you will have met Perry.
