Short Tales

Roy Van Dyke was born during a time of global conflict, the Second World War, in a little village called Pomona, in Guyana, South America. His formative years were beset by hardships and deprivation due to the effects of the war. His father was not around much, not because he was a deadbeat dad; in those days, the head of the home had to journey to far and dangerous places to provide for his family. He was nurtured in those years by his mother and grandmother, who, at times, called upon elders in the village to assist them in keeping him in line. Mr. Van Dyke, from an early age, was a story teller; Short Tales is just him doing what he knows best. Mr. Van Dyke has honed his craft well; the stories in Short Tales jump at you and grab your attention from beginning to end.
