The Pension Don Severance

This book, as all of my books do, follows from a lifetime of all too real experiences. The characters are based on people I have actually known. It is written to be humorous and to poke fun at two main obsessions that people have: the pursuit of love, and the pursuit of money. The main characters consistently confuse the two, or use one to obtain the other. Love captures our attention like a casino slot machine. We never know when the cherries will appear, if they'll come in two's or three's, and if they'll ever come back. The pursuit of money becomes a charade in which we are told that "all is fair". If we stumble in its pursuit, it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Love and money. Take all you can get, and never get caught. I hope you enjoy this book.
