Mother's Day At The Orphanage is collection of semi-autobiographical short stories about odd jobs, fake businesses, mistaken identities, close shaves, and near misses, written by David Leigh Abts and Michael Shattuck, edited by Leslie Blodgett, and with the Foreword by Courtney Taylor-Taylor (Frontman of The Dandy Warhols).  It is also a collaboration with guest NYC authors and Baltimore/D.C. artists - a chance for a bunch of friends who dig each other's creative work to get together and put something out, and asks the following burning questions.

Has Art Garfunkel ever taken your putt-putt club?  

Was Michael Jackson the focus of your middle school science fair project?

Have you ever tried to coax a moth out of your ear with a lamp?

To Love A Wild Irishman

47 parts Complete

***Finnegan Callahan is the son of an Irishman. He loves rye whiskey, women and gambling though he always leaves his women a bit more bitter and his gambling companions much richer. His take on life is that it is meant to be lived and live it he does-though he won't be doing so much longer if those he owes debts to catch up to him. What Finnegan needs is a chest full of money which of course he thinks is simply wishful thinking-until he finds the treasure map. ***Cassandra Little has always lived a cautious life. Daughter to a wealthy family and a father active in the government, her every move is seen and judged by society. Cassandra says she is content but knows deep down that there has to be something more-and that is why when her best friend Finnegan shows up at her bedroom window in the early morning hours with a treasure map and a proposition, Cassandra is quick to agree. ***Their journey together will take Cassandra far from home. Outlaws, debt collectors, bounty hunters and angry politicians plague them every step of the way. Will Cassandra and Finnegan find the treasure they seek? Take the journey with them as they discover who they really are, what really matters and that old friendships truly are the strongest foundations for true love.
