About the Book

"You Can't Pick Up Raindrops" is a collection of unforgettable short stories including a lot of humor, a tear jerker, science fiction, a bit of romance, alternate universes, the truly strange and weird, as well as stories that will leave you with the question: "Did that really happen?"
About the Author: John Charles Miller (floridamiller@verizon.net) is a groundwater geologist and writer of speculative fiction and other strange little stories. He has resided in Tampa, Florida with his wife Mary, since 1975, making him a semi-native Floridian. During his almost 40 years as a geologist, he focused on groundwater supplies and contamination assessments, monitoring, and cleanup. He is a licensed Florida Professional Geologist. Fluent in Spanish, he served in the US Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic from 1962-64 under John F. Kennedy's presidency, and has eight years professional experience in Latin America. His first novel, Citrus White Gold, an alternate history of Citrus County, Florida, was self-published in August 2011. His writing website is quarkspacetravel.com, where his short stories can be downloaded free as pdf documents for your reading pleasure. A number of his short stories have been award winners in annual contests of the Tampa Writers Alliance. The Quark Space Travel website name was derived from his short story, Scammed, in which a random Google search comes across an obscure website: quarkspacetravel.com. The story took 1st Place in Science Fiction/Fantasy in the 2009 Tampa Writers Alliance annual writing contest, and is published in Wordsmith 2010. His short story You Can't Pick Up Raindrops was published in the online magazine, LOST, as the lead November 2008 story. http: //www.lostmag.com/issue28/raindrops.php
