Clowns Don’t Need Clearance Books 1-3
Book 1: The Truth as Experienced
Come share thirty-four stories of real-time confusion as I invite you into my world exactly as I saw it. Stories of an ordinary wife, mother, and teacher caught in extraordinary circumstances. Most of these stories took place in Panama during the final years before control of the canal transfered to Panama.
The person I trusted most gave me the worst advice. A drug lord’s protection of me drew attention I did not comprehend. A general who didn’t always ring true may have been the only one with discernment.
These are my memories of Panama—where I learned that clowns don’t need clearance.
Book 2: The Truth as Extrapolated Under construction
With a personality that propels forward into life instead of pausing to reflect, I rushed headfirst into my future without carefully examining my past.
Book 2, The Truth as Extrapolated is my attempt to make sense of what may have gone on behind the scenes of Book 1.
I recommend skipping this book.
Read Book 3. The Truth as Explored; or write your own Book 2 and discover unique possiblities that fits the truth of my experiences.
Book 3: The Truth as Explored Under construction
I had questions: Why won’t my husband believe my truths? Why was the military interested? How did the general turn off the spotlight on me? Were there now two people protecting me?
To find the answers, I created what I call a lens.
To qualify as a lens, the story, report or document must stay within the truth of Book 1, The Truth as Experienced. But, it must add a realistic point of view or focus to the original story. By doing this, I hoped to better understand why the general chose to do what he did..
