    About this audiobook

    Passerby is an anthology of short stories and is the second title in the series. This collection concentrates on stories that demanded a sequel and in some cases, a third part. Sometimes the demand for a "follow-up" came from my readers, but on occasion, the demand came from the story itself.

    If you are a writer, you will know that stories sometimes take on a life of their own, and even though the story appears to have an ending, it cries out to be allowed to continue. I have grouped the stories so they flow in the order in which they were written, with one notable exception.

    Toward the end of this anthology, there is a three-parter, of which "Keep Left" is the middle story. It was written as a stand-alone story, and "Explain It to Me" and "And in the End You'll Hear Me Calling" were written latter.

    "Do you have a favourite?" I hear you ask. A parent loves his or her children equally, but I must say I have a particular fondness for the first two stories, one of which gives the anthology its name, "Passerby".

    The stories in this anthology do not fall into any particular genre because I like to "go with the flow" when I write. I hope you enjoy your journey through my imagination, and I hope you will come back for more. I'll keep writing them if you keep listening to them.

    Terry R Barca

    I’m an author who lives and works in the Dandenong Ranges, on the eastern edge of Melbourne Australia.I take one day at a time but occasionally I’m attacked by several days at once.My amazing wife and I have lived in The Hills for forty-three years.My favourite colour is green and so is my favourite car.I started my working life as a Primary School Teacher in the early 1970s.Since then I have been a stained glass craftsman, furniture restorer, restorer of Player Pianos and music rolls, author (twenty one books so far, seventeen audiobooks, another on the way), photographer, basketball trading card manufacturer, basketball coach, basketball player, basketball referee, part-time shop assistant, newspaper columnist, homeschool dad, husband, father, grandfather, and a few other bits and pieces, and not in this order.I’m fascinated by people, but I prefer the company of dogs.I’m not frightened of dying, but sometimes life scares the hell out of me.I think that birds are cool but I don’t believe that they spend any time thinking about me, even though I give them lots of stale bread, and the occasional pizza crust........ ungrateful bastards!

      Poetic Asides

      Dec 11, 2023

      Poems are such versatile things. They can be as concise as a well-written line but also long enough to fill an entire book. Poems rhyme except when they don’t, and they follow rules except when they won’t. Poetry is beautifully chaotic. While I agree

      What Is a Poem?

      Nov 25, 2013

      When I used to ask students what a poem is, I would get answers like “a painting in words,” or “a medium for self-expression,” or “a song that rhymes and displays beauty.” None of these answers ever really satisfied me, or them, and so for a while I
