Franklin P. Smith welcomes you to visit the Smoke House where stories will be told every month.  The stories will range from those about
‘real’ life which occurs around you to children's stories which could (and probably do) apply to the behavior of adults.

At first the style may take you by surprise.   Critics have commented that they have never seen or heard words put together 
quite the way these stories do.   They compare these stories to those of the great writers of the past - like Hemingway, Mark Twain, 
O’Henry, and John Updike.   These stories bring forward the situations. feelings and emotions of ordinary people; they speak in
the voice of every day.

The above is bold statement, but when a writer brings the inner emotions and feelings of the reader or listener to the surface, they
have done what seems impossible.  A dear friend told me something when I began to write: “If you write, write something powerful and
meaningful, or else you will be wasting the readers’ time and yours.”   That is what I set out to do.  At times I have been 
astonished. for people have remembered one of my stories and told me so - three or even ten years later.  This has happened many times,
with numerous people, and with a wide variety of the stories, so I have come to believe it is more than a freak accident.  I confess.  
Hearing it makes me proud.  I invite you to read the stories, to listen to them, and to judge for yourself.

Please enjoy the stories contain in the two POD Books. Feel free to check out Franklin P Smith’s spots on communityuso.com, my space, face book and your tube.
