Fact Check and More Probing Tales

<p><em>Fact Check and More Probing Tales</em> is the third anthology of previously-published short stories by award-winning James Hanna. Stories range from an air-headed farm boy who is adopted by a beautiful bird that squawks <em>Fact check</em> whenever the boy gets into an untenable situation (Fact Check). Another is about a struggling writer who pens a maudlin book to mock his critics but the joke turns septic when the book becomes a bestseller (The Land Fish). These are among twenty-two aberrant stories penned by James Hanna. This author is known to penetrate the human comedy while offering pathos irony and hard laughter.   </p><p> </p>
