Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on June 17, 2017 [00:30 A.M. (GMT), June 18th], for a discussion of By Sun & Lightning, a short story by Don Winslow,  Not one to argue with success, I decided to go to the Playboy Archives again for this week's story.  It's of the crime story genre'. but  is overall a love story with an edge.  I think you will enjoy it, both as a good one to discuss as well as an entertaining tale to read.  

Winslow was born in New York City on Halloween night, 1953, but grew up in Perryville, a beach town near the village of Mantunuk, RI. His mother was a librarian, his father a career sailor and inveterate raconteur. After college Wilson  explored many possible careers before devoting himself to writing. In the late 1970s, he moved to New York City, first working as manager of a chain of movie theaters, then as a private investigator in movie theaters and the back alleys of Times Square. He went back to school to earn a master's degree in Military History, led safaris in Kenya and hiking trips in China's Sichuan Province. His first published novel, A Cool Breeze on the Underground, was published in 1991.
