A Step Outside of Normal: 1 (Read on the Run)

A Step Outside of Normal is the first in the Read on the Run series. It is an anthology of seven short stories by five different authors presenting situations which are almost but not quite normal. Not really supernatural not really fantasy not really general fiction. But what they all share is that each is a little bit off. And short to suit your busy lifestyle. Hell of a Day by Laurie Axinn Gienapp is about a young man who has to deal with divorced parents who dont like each other... but with an unusual setting. Sunnybrook Acres by Catherine Valenti is a story of a retirement home with an unusual cadre of residents. Pirates by Kathleen Terrell looks at the world out of the eyes of a young child. Always by Theresa Thompson is a tender story about loss except that maybe its not so tender. Xyxyx by R. S. Leergard examines the beginning of the world but perhaps not our world. The Double by Laurie Axinn Gienapp presents a young woman who appears to have a doppelganger. Rage by Catherine Valenti is a violent tale of murder anger and betrayal.
