Hello!

I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book, Burning Embers and Other Stories of Marriage, Work, and Family

ISBN: 978-1598588187

From the back cover:

When Charlie discovered that he was not going to become rich working at a Seattle dot-com company, he decided he needed a fresh challenge, and his wife Kathy knew just what to do: move away from the land of rain and lattes back to her home state of Michigan. Charlie agreed, and off they went.

But it wasn’t easy. New family, new work, and new surroundings confused and delighted Charlie, and to cope with it all he began to write letters to friends back home. That’s where Burning Embers started, and from there it grew into a collection of comic and sometimes poignant stories of a husband and wife trying to make a marriage, career, and life together. Come join Charlie and Kathy in these pages. Bring a latte (they have those in Michigan now, thank God) and get a ready to laugh.

About the author:

Charlie Close is a man of many talents, most of which will not be demonstrated in this book.

He is midway through a career in the information technology industry where he was promoted to regional manager, a position he held for one day. He worked in a Pacific Northwest dot-com company for which he did not make millions of dollars from stock options, and moved to the Midwest shortly after the company was defeated in the marketplace by its main competitor.

Other notable accomplishments include tenure as the drummer for a Seattle grunge band that never had a name and performed only once outside the guitarist’s basement, as well as authorship of two award-winning poems not printed here. He has held a Super Bowl ring in the palm of his hand, although not one belonging to a player you would have heard of.

Charlie lives with his wife Kathy in southeastern Michigan.

A sample story, "Valentine's Day Surprise", is posted on my website. Enjoy it with my compliments.

Happy reading.

Charlie Close
