“Dinky Dau Man” is a simple tale about two men working out their past issues amidst the chaos of Vietnam’s combat zone. One man deserves to die. The other man adores the idea of making that happen on behalf of a murdered girl. The above story comes with a bonus. In “Turn Loose the Night”, Oliver intends to see his grandsons, and the end of the world will not stand in his way. He made a promise, after all. His trip could end (or maybe begin) in a strange town, this totally normal place untouched by the nuclear wasteland that has replaced the world. [mehr]

DEVIL’S SIDE POCKET It seemed like the right thing to do. That city fellow Dr. Hayle wanted to conduct an archeological dig on Elvin Kristiansen’s ranch, and Elvin isn’t the type to stand in anyone’s way of doing something good. He was raised to live up to his last name, which is basically Son of Christ. When Dr. Hayle begins to tell lies – then get caught telling them – you’d think Elvin would flip his lid on the darn city slicker. He will. It’s just going to take awhile. [mehr]

CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME “Can’t Find My Way Home” is a collection of short stories devoted to how far a person will go when their lives didn’t go the way they wanted them to. Our title story features Kris and Ray. They should have been rock gods. Their meteoric rise in the electric blues band ‘Adam’s Rockets’ exploded in the stratosphere when bandleader Adam ruined their key performance. After decades of obscurity for everyone, Adam needs help. Will he get it? “To Balance the World” gives us Charlie. There are a lot of nice people in the world – Charlie isn’t one of them. He’s served 26 years for killing his wife’s lover. Now he’s out, and along with staying by his side, his wife wants to act like nothing happened. Not so with Charlie. He has it in his mind that he should and will kill his wife. Will they make it home? Unlike Charlie, the husband in “Our Separate Ways” loves his wife. He loves her with a passion - although it’s been 17 years since she was kidnapped, never to be seen again. Wait a minute. He’s just seen her. Our collection concludes with “Behoove”. Richie has just come into some money thanks to some ancient dirty pictures featuring the state’s Governor in much younger days. Her lawyer wants the pictures and he’s willing to pay big bucks for ‘em. Too bad Richie has neighbors... [mehr]

From the author of Can't Find My Way Home and Devil's Side Pocket comes a short trip into pyschological terror, the short story... SCREWDRIVER BOY Crazy boy, killer boy, A screwdriver is his toy Our narrator is home after years of enjoying the dubious benefits of long-term care at the state mental institution. Screwdriver Boy might be free, but he’s a real mess. He’s stopped taking his meds, he’s having problems with the parental units, a woman is spying on him, and he’s out of Coca-Cola. Screwdriver Boy can't remember why he was locked up. What awful thing did he do? According to the charming little ditty sung by the neighborhood brats, it’s probably a great idea to keep screwdrivers well out of our narrator’s reach. [mehr]
