Shortcomingz (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a collection of short stories on a variety of topics and themes that take place in numerous locations. Some of the stories are plainspoken, others border on magical realism, a few offer a poetic peep into the past, several delve into science fiction and the rest, I hope, are avant-garde.

Human existence is never easy and the characters in the 27 short stories of Shortcomingz really do want it to be! Some escape through visions, others via art or painkillers - literal and figurative. A handful discover the sweet spot, others seek adventure, a few encounter surprises, some experience immortality, and the rest of these personalities live another day as flesh and blood.

Autorenporträt

Check out my three ebooks on Smashwords: Mattie's Compass, a Young Adult Novel that combines Sci-Fi as well as Adventure elements; Shortcomingz, an eclectic short story collection (misspelled on purpose...call it one of my shortcomings); and The Vampire Murders, a Thriller set in my hometown of New Orleans. (What better setting for a wicked little Goth Nouveau tale?) I recently finished my fourth book and third novel; I am not uploading it to Smashwords because I am querying prospective agent(s)/publisher(s). This recently completed novel is the story of siblings experiencing a certain haunting by family ghosts. So far, my latest novel became a 2023 Killer Nashville Claymore Award Finalist as well as earned placement on the 2023 Nervous Ghost Press Longlist for Prose. I am waiting for a WIN and a traditional publisher!

My foray into the world of screenwriting also includes ten feature screenplays (two are adapted from my books and two are co-authored) and, all of which have placed from Quarterfinalist to Finalist in numerous screenplay contests.

Like many writers, I'm an introvert and take the road less traveled. Maybe, if you want to know more about me, you might find clues in my fiction, where some writers hide facts and truths . . . because via my novels, screenplays, and short stories, I hope to speak truth about the human condition - yours, mine, and even those other sometimes under-heard voices, speaking to our existential dilemmas.
