Produktbeschreibung

Short Story Coupling: Border Patrol (and) A Fairy Tale, brings together two farcical tales involving characters desperately longing for a better life (or at least some amorous coupling). In Border Patrol, a senior military officer close to retirement is teamed with a wild new recruit (with ties to a couple of infamous southern families) and placed in a boring outpost by the homeland security chiefs. Bringing a little spice to their lives starts a chain of events involving a Chicago model and an Arab terrorist. Events continue to swing wildly out of control until they hit the wall in a weird conclusion that will have you screaming "WHAAAT?" and possibly dropping your ebook device (sorry). A Fairy Tale is best imagined being told by Edward Everett Horton (if you're old enough to remember Rocky & Bullwinkle) and shows what can happen when a hairy fairy godmother (picture Bruce Vilanch) waves the tinsel stick (and other assorted things from his...er, her magic bag) to teach a pudgy aging princess how to find a hot young prince in the age of internet technology. Nothing and no one is sacred in the twisted tales that emerge here.

Autorenporträt

Trained as a journalist, he has worked in newspaper, magazine and television news environments, interspersed with careers in advertising, promotions, retail, entertainment and project management. In community theatre he sits on the board of a not-for-profit stage, along with being a contracted set builder, and occasional designer, actor and promoter (along with having written a few scripts and thinking about some future ones). As a hoosier, was influenced by Vonnegut, Porter and Tarkington; thoroughly enjoys the "Toms" (Robbins, Wolfe & Tryon); and has consumed Barth, Irving, Rice, Capote, Crisp, Gallico and Fitzgerald; yet remains fascinated by the brief John Kennedy Toole. Goal: to retire from everything except writing and traveling.
