BURN SERIES - Dixie Demando, an ambtious executive, finds her life being overrun by her wild younger sister and the wealthy Manhattanites who follow her like religious devotees. THE EXOUSIA - When an unidentified man is found murdered in the American West, the police turn up few leads despite the Byzantine set of bizarre connections and circumstances they find in relation to his death. RUMOR PEOPLE - Virginia, a savvy middle aged woman turned on by all things cerebral, trolls a Manhattan chess club looking for sex. THE FIZZ NOTORIO - A bright young woman named Eve Patricia begins an affair with Harshwine, an impotent man twice her age and gets immediately swept up in his life as an intellectual, art dealer, and operator of an apartment rental scam. "Five Plus Stars." - Don Sloan, National Book Critics Circle " Recommended. This fellow can write." - US Review of Books "The author's defiancé of conventional storytelling is innovative and admirable." - Kirkus Reviews "These short stories add psychological depth into an already complex picture and portray scenarios and characters with a steady attention to twists of tale, irony, and details that readers won't expect." -Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review "The author's ability with characters is actually kinda godlike." - Brad K. Horner Blog "4 stars...compulsively readable." -Portland Book Review "These stories are fragmented narratives populated by the young, beautiful, old, cynical, rich, sage, earnest and savagely sad." - Pacific Book Review
