Trail Mix

Included in this book are four short stories each unique in story themes. The first story Saving the Land of Zafer is a fantasy set in the early 1950's about a brother and sister who must travel to a mythical land to save a queen from an evil curse. The second story Kova is done in an Outer Limits style. Anna's tragedy manifests as stigmata. Karl's loyal dog turns on him to leave him blind in one eye. They both end up in an institution. Here the reader finds that a nothing is what it purports to be. The third story Forever & Ever Amen came out of an exercise from Stephen King's book On Writing. This is my rendition of a relationship that has gone horribly wrong or otherwise affectionately known as 'the psycho wife.' The fourth but not the least of the stories The Incident at Green Valley Lake is a story of three adolescents who encounter UFO's aliens and their own fears in the quiet little town they call home.
