Eric L Marsh wrote, Bobby's Girl, the Diner, on a full set of napkins from the dispenser on his table while sitting in the actual  Diner of that name in Central New Hampshire in New hampton, on route 104 just west of the Merifith  line. He didn't take more than one bite form his meal before the story screamed out in his head to be written. The French fries congealed, his vanilla frappe melted and the cheeseburger he looked forward to all day long simply wilted and grew stone cold, so engrossed was he in getting the story down on paper/napkins. The waitress smiled and asked if he wanted the napkins placed on his bill.  Smiling back at her, he said to add them because the book he wrote on them would buy a truck load of napkins someday.(she didn't). A couple of years later after many revisions and editing a publisher was found and the book became a reality. Eric kicked off his marketing at the Bobby's Girl diner, sadly the young waitress had gone off to college and missed having a free signed copy placed in her hands. Eric is a talented writer of short stories, his style has been praised by fans and peers as very similar to O.Henry's. Bobby's girl is Eric's second published book, the other; titled, Mother Superior's secret, he boasts, had been banned by a regional chain of bookstores, as being to controversial. Which it is not. That chain has gone out of business.  Eric is a long time writer of poetry, as well as being a stand up comedian and thespain. He retired as an Army Master sergeant (having served in both hot and cold wars); and civilain general construction Contractor. Eric resides in the wild woods of New Hampshire on five forested acres into his self built writers retreat. He can be found at the keyboard day and night with his canine companions resting at his feet as he sits tapping out streams of words for his and your pleasure.
