Tales from the River follows the lives of the Lucas clan--a large and loving family living along an isolated area of the St. Johns River in the heart of Central Florida. Through a series of short stories that begin in the 1920's, they face the ups and downs of daily life with perseverance and humor, and share their memories of a long forgotten Florida--an era of riverboats, Model A's and living off the land.

This book is dedicated to Dreamers everywhere. Dreams don't always come true... ...as expected. When I was very young, my friends and I would don old Halloween costumes and masks and play "witches and warlocks" instead of the customary "cops and robbers" or "cowboys and Indians." We'd jam brooms into tree branches to sit on and clothespin towels around our necks as capes, and all because of Bewitched. Odd? Perhaps. But I knew I was destined to be a part of Bewitched somehow, some way. I never did get to play Adam Stephens on Television- I do however, have some great videos of me playing him alongside Kasey and others from the show and NOT from the show. Finally, upon looking back, I realized; I didn't get to be in a TV series of Bewitched but better still... I got to live it Keep dreaming. And realize as quick as you can, that those dreams you have may just be happening right under your very nose... even if you don't at first recognize it.
