I am a short story writer. I write full-length stories about my experiences in the Philippines while I was in the Navy. My greatest stories which are of course non-fiction are about my Filipina wife and our daughter (name was Maria Luisa) just recently, I completed two full length stories about the life ouf Maria Luisa. The first was poem about her life from the day she was born until she disappeared one night in Sacrifice Valley a few years ago after major heart-break. The next was a condensed short story of her life where I go into a little more detail about her life. The second short story ( about 40 pages long deals with those last few days of her life and the one which I'm working on now is her devu party These stories are very heart warming and is very descriptive of life in the provincial Philippines. The setting is in the Bicol region where Mariamelda her three children (one son & her two daughters were born & lived through their childhood.right now I am finishing the final draft of Maria Luisa: her devu party. And them when I get it copyrighted, I would like to send all three stories along to you as well as the poem. These stories are all true but I added some fictitous parts to add more drama & interest when people read them. Thank you for your interest and attention.
Sincerely yours, Richard J O'hanlon Jr.
