Making Change is a book I began several years ago based on true stories of how events, decisions and circumstances have changed my life — sometimes in a split second. In addition to this main theme, several sub-threads will be woven into the book, hopefully providing additional structure to hold this puppy together. They are: Mercury (the god, the element and the dime); the vernacular of books in general; and a mystery riddle which runs throughout the book. My goal is pure amusement for readers, so if you find one thing that strikes you as visually or verbally entertaining I will be happy. I hope you will be too.
