Book Description

June 29, 2009
CLASSICAL REVENGE - Thirteen Short Stories. Buckle up for a fast ride, as the author carries you through a range of emotions by way of characters and situations that are variously creepy, funny, twisted, romantic, suspenseful, and playful.

CLASSICAL REVENGE - A woman ventures out at night during a snow storm into a dangerous part of town to get the last item on her Christmas list.

ROAD RAGE TO NOWHERE - Road Rage can take you on a trip to somewhere you've never been. And make you wish you hadn't gone.

KORY MANTRA - Kory Mantra is a 32-year old computer programmer who, after losing his job and his girlfriend, went on a diet and took up yoga. And to help him stick with it, he made weekly videos of his progress and posted them online. Now he's a celebrity. But will he ever find true love? Or will he die trying?

BUCKTHIRSTY - Some people will do anything for a buck. You might call them BuckThirsty.

PRINCE OF PUMPKINSHIRE - Chip's life is changed forever after an encounter with bullies in the woods on Halloween night.

YOUR PERSONAL PRESIDENT - The year is 2018. Television is obsolete. Everything is web-based. Watch any show whenever you want. And thanks to massive computer databases and powerful processors, all data is now saved. Fries with that? They don't even need to ask. Everything can be personalized. Even The President of the United States.

IMPALA CRUISE - A young woman offers a ride to a stranger, knowing she may regret it. He's good-looking. But he could be a criminal. He could be dangerous. So could she.

SMILEY FROWNER - Five-year-old Jessica doesn't go anywhere without Smiley--the handmade doll that protects her from the evils of the world.

LAYOFF RUMORS - And you thought YOUR job sucked.

MARGIN OF ERROR - An ambitious campaign manager claims she can deliver a victory every time--once she gets the poll numbers within the Margin of Error. But statistics can only be carried so far...before you become one.

SUN-POWERED CAR - A washed-up TV reporter sees a chance for a big story when he discovers an amazing invention while passing through a small town.

GOVERNOR HOOKS A LADY - The new governor is flying high--until a certain lady brings him back down to earth.

MARY GOLDALORE - Mary Goldalore is a very attractive, wealthy divorcee in her mid-thirties. She's also a bit naive--making her a prime candidate for a con artist's scheme.

More About the Author

I see movies in my head--movies I create, based on stories I imagine, starring characters I mold out of thin air. That's where all of my novels, novellas and short stories come from. They all start as a collection of movie scenes that I arrange and rearrange until my story gels.

My characters rehearse their lines endlessly. I sometimes stop them in mid-stream to change a few words. But they never complain. They know I'm only trying to make their dialog tighter, more believable--which makes them look better as actors. They are tireless--running scenes over and over until they're perfect.

Filming is wrapped when I say so, since I'm the writer, producer, and director. Then comes the tough part: writing it all down.

But when I'm finished, my story will have suspense, drama, mystery, and probably a bit of humor--because that's the way I roll, as they say. And if I've succeeded, it will be like watching a movie--a movie that once existed only in my head.
