Bert Carson
I am a Vietnam Veteran. I write about men, women, and sometimes dogs, who always do the right thing. I believe that life is sacred (not to be confused with religion). Otherwise this would be a pretty lame trip.

Another Place Another Time
Adventure, War, Love, Science Fiction
Leonard Jacobson’s life changed the day he met Whispers. Thirty years later he wrote the story. It began this way, “The day I met Whispers, I was nineteen and he was one. From the day we met, we were not apart for a single day for almost fifteen years. I cannot imagine what my life would have been without Whispers, and frankly, I don’t even want to think about it. This is our story, my dog, Whispers’ and mine.”
Half way through the book you’ll meet Luke Jenson, a professional truck driver. Luke’s life changes when he meets Traveler. He described it this way, “Daddy always said that I was a “riding fool,” usually adding, “Luke, you’d rather ride than eat.” He should have met the dog. I have never known a man, woman, child or animal who liked to ride any more than Traveler. I guess I knew when I walked into Frank’s office, the dog was going to be my new partner; it just took a while for me to admit it. First, I had to put myself through all the arguments against having a big dog in a truck twenty-four hours a day.
Another Place Another Time is about men, women, dogs, love, war, and oh yes, time travel.
