Never set a Pond on Fire is a collection of four short stories. These stories are gleaned from the authors days growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River and an oral tradition of story telling in his family. All are full of adventure. Each story has a different theme. They range from a whimsical story of a high school senior prank gone terribly wrong to a night of shear terror being cornered by a murderer. From being lost deep in the bowels of Mark Twain Cave to an eyrie tale of an apparition.
