The adventure would continue on and

work for Applied Systems, Inc, a software company, working his way out of technical support into his current position as a
Software Tester.” John P. Tuttle is the author of Atop the Spiral Stair.
According to the book description of
Atop the Spiral Stair, “J.P. Tuttle is a poet whose work betrays his intimate familiarity
with pure inspiration. He does not resist the forces that constantly swirl about him, in nature and in relationships with
his fellow travelers, but eagerly invites them into his lungs and his heart and into every part of his ancient soul. He longs
to feel everything; to comprehend, and to write. The works in this book are the result of a life lived boldly, a life of innocent
faith, horrific war, tenacious love, joyous fatherhood, and focused ambition. This is a man who understands that even an assault
of painful emotions heralds a proclamation of life and the will to survive. In nature, he finds a source of eternal hope that
sustains him through all things. And with us he graciously shares, by way of his poetry, his insights, his fears, his hopes,
and his dreams. J.P. invites you to share his walk. To him it’s an act of gratitude, a gesture of thanks to a world
that’s given him a journey—sometimes blissful and sometimes tragic—but always full of wonder.”
