Strange Mutations (one man's trash)
This collection of short stories span over a four-year period. I like to think of them as sudden bursts of frantic writings filled with certainty that I was on my way to becoming a literary genius. But after the story was complete and my creative juices had run dry, I would completely forget they existed. Wham! Bam! Thank you, Mam! I used and abused them. I'd only come back around if nothing better was available. I guess you could say I was quite the fiction fucker.
When I did come back to revise, I was mortified to find out that - what I thought would make Stephen King jealous of me for once - was nothing but a one night stand with a bad case of beer goggles. Damn, she was ugly... Ugh!!!
But don't fear, possible reader, these ladies have been reworked immensely with extreme make-overs, so they're looking pretty decent these days and deserve a chance.
I always found myself coming back to fix the little bruises and then forget about them all over again. I didnt have the heart to throw them away. But now I must set them free. They need to get out and see the world. There's no reason to be scared, I tell them, if they don't accept you for who you are, then they're probably not your "type" anyway. So most have mutated into completely different animals from where they began. (See how I got the title? So clever, I am)
They are not in any particular order, but "Fly on the wall", "The Healing Tree", "There's no monsters", and "Framed by a phantom" are very close to the first stories I'd ever written. The only other things I should note is, the twin tales "Crow's Peak Chronicles" was intended to be a trilogy; the third part has yet to be written and has a good chance of being released never. My personal favorite is, "Bird's eye view". Don't ask me why. hope you enjoy.
