The People Puzzle is comfortable, can’t put it down reading that will warm your heart and nourish your soul. It’s a lighthearted treasury of insights into human-kind from someone who has seen the good the bad and the absurd … and lived to tell about it. From blending families, raising kids, and how the sexes behave, to growing older, accepting retirement, and stories of life in a gentler time. The People Puzzle is the kind of book you pick up when you need a friendly arm around your shoulder, or begin to wonder who that person is peeking back at you from the mirror. It’s a reassuring wink and a nod that says you and I are okay … just human!

Master Storyteller
Fred Masey
He was always a communicator. After nearly twenty years in sales and marketing, Fred traded his suit and tie for boots and jeans to realize a dream in broadcasting. He worked both on and off the air for some of the top stations in New York and Philly, earning several major awards for his copy writing and production, including the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Brotherhood Award, a Gold Medal at the International Radio Festival and a Big Apple Radio Award. Today, Fred is a grandfather, husband, and author sharing life with Vigi, his amazing bride, a feisty Goldendoodle who thinks he’s a kid, a rescued mixed breed and a chatty parrot that says everything but what they’ve tried to teach her.
