Being a private investigator wasn’t supposed to be complicated. I expected cheating spouses and missing pets like BonBon, a kidnapped ‘pure-bred Schnoodle’ with a ruby-studded collar.

During the Victorian era the publishing of magazines and periodicals accelerated at a phenomenal rate. This really was mass market publishing to a hungry audience eager for literary sustenance.

Amongst the very many was ‘The Yellow Book’.

As beautiful souls, sometimes, our lives can be blighted or blessed by situations or events. The moral in most of my stories is that "the music of life" will take on different themes, rhythms, and moods, however throughout the highs and the lows as individuals, we should carry on and learn from each and every experience. More importantly the key message is that "life" is like a "beautiful rose", but you must be strong when you find some thorns, because a "rose" always comes with thorns.

Written by Ralph M. Flores, illustrated by family and friends, and published posthumously, these 13 fables, adapted for audio, are fractured in that some are spin-offs on Aesop's Fables and Navajo coyote tales, but all show topical twists unique to Ralph's wry, indulgent humor. The moral at the end of each fable, if we didn't realize sooner, alerts us to the animal characters that are stand-ins for human fools.
