Guys/Gals! I could use some feedback on my 10th novel called "Cuckoo Heartfully". I'm posting chapter by chapter and would really appreciate any and all comments.
Sometimes we get a little lost in our lives ... The Cuckoo Colloquium is about 6 young teens on a boat ride to see the wildlife of the Borneo rain forest ... It's a one-way trip; calamity takes place, and the desperate teens, lost and separated, have to find themselves-metaphorically- before they can find themselves physically.
Assunta unfolds a torturous ordeal of spiritual searching: What are we? Where in the universe do we belong?
Plum Rains On Happy House is, on one level, a wayward look at culture shock and the surprises that lay in store when newcomers try their best at assimilation into a dissimilar culture. The high-minded new tenant in Room 1 of Happy House, the Ichiban, decides to turn the old guesthouse into an English school, but is continually thwarted by a creature that lives under the floorboards called the Crat (cat meets rat).
MOON DOGG spring-boards from a central question: What would happen if you were reincarnated, or "moved" after death into the body of another, but with fleeting memories of your previous life?
In Purple Bleed the Naughty Beasts, 14 Americans have unwittingly volunteered to become colonial settlers for a 3-month project that slowly brutalises them without mercy. They have to find the primal survivor within themselves if they hope to make it to their "Thanksgiving".
... Identity, knowing who we are and what we can do-it weaves through all five stories like fine fabric.
