The Olio Folio

Over the years, I have written of many things. This book; Bud Simpson’s Olio Folio, is an attempt by me to gather many of these unpublished writings in one place. These pieces; essays, short stories, bad poetry, and novelettes, are not in any particular order; alphabetical or otherwise. I just tossed them onto a jumbled pile, shook it up a bit, and this is the way they turned out. Some pieces are fiction; others a combination of fiction and fact; some are actual fact. Some of the fiction is more believable than my factual stories. Some of the factual stories sound like fiction. Not my fault! I’ll let you try to figure it out. As they say: “Any resemblance of these characters to actual people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.” Or is it?
