Ella Tiger Lily and Other Works

The stories in this collection present a spectrum of mythic and romantic tales with themes of passion and futility. The different characters embodied in each work burn with their own incandescence in a landscape that at times can be forbidding and surrealistic.The lyricism of the writing is accentuated by contrapuntal sub-themes of dissonance that may at times be seen as startling. These nuances of style present a variety of patterns woven into the skein of the stories that further augment their fresh appeal to the reader.
