J Bennington

Biography

J Bennington: Fresh out of High School, I spent 21 years in the Air Force, serving in Viet Nam, Thailand, United States, and Germany. After retiring from the Air Force, I drove a limousine under contract for Conrail, moving train crews from stations to trains, and anywhere needed. I wrote 5 books, longhand, while waiting in rail stations, State Prison fields at 2 A M, and forlorn rail crossings right out of Stephen King novels with all the demons and terror. Following that interesting but tiring job, I tackled a few independent businesses that failed. Worked two years in a restaurant as the salad bar manager. Worked 1 year as Electric Meter Reader for the City of Dover, DE. Then a friend arranged a part-time clerical position in the State Probation Office. From there I applied for full-time positions and worked 20 years for the Department of Transportation, selling Hauling Permits to truckers or trucking companies, billing companies for Outdoor Advertising, and later I paid the bills to State Contractors. I retired in February 2014 and now I’m doing what I love, writing and working to publish the books collecting electronic dust over the years.

Reading a variety of E-Books from the Internet or being a sous chef for my wife when she's creating Korean dishes. I do much taste testing for her, process sauces, and blend ingredients. And when she needs help, I spade the garden, hoe straight lines, etc. She keeps me busy.

    I normally don't like suicide stories, but this one was interesting. At first I thought both would go over the side, but the girl seemed trying to talk him out of jumping. When she disappeared without another word, I thought Angel? Beautiful story.
