Girl Stories & Game Plays Your turns of phrase — creative freedom with language — turned me on throughout; that's the reason why people still read. I laughed out loud, I laughed out loud, I laughed out loud! A ticklish read from start to finish. —Jason Love, syndicated humor writer I was seduced into believing these were just ‘stories’ and then was zinged with surprising twists. The precision of the writing is gripping, dialogue is riveting. Each story stands on its own but then becomes a part of a greater whole, with some characters appearing and reappearing, as though they want us to know them better. —Diane Booth, psychotherapist Diverse, lively, often hilarious... —Chronogram, December 2005 Have Fun Getting Unstuck This spirited anthology offers energy, movement, and an unexpected journey in the form of 18 stories and 3 one-act plays. It's for everyone who enjoys a good laugh, a cathartic cry, and an entertaining tale. A different (maybe sneaky) kind of anthology that builds like a novel ... or something else entirely. See what you think. A great gift for men who like their brains teased and girl-women of all ages. What is a girl-woman? A girl-woman can be 16 or 60. She's innocent like a fox. But mainly she's alive! Alive like a girl, wise like a woman. Famous girl-women: • Eloise (of the children's books) • Goldie Hawn • Whoopi Goldberg • Drew Barrymore • Alice Walker • Tinkerbell • Norah Jones • Doris Lessing • Alicia Keys • Georgia O'Keeffe and maybe you or someone you love? What kind of stories are girl-women stories? Silly, serious, strange, slightly subversive, transcendent, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny. The collection includes an updated version of Darleen Dances and the short stories listed at right (read by clicking on them). from Darleen Dances: "I read this book by a movie star which said that the key to peace of mind is standing on your head. The theory is when you get all the blood in your head, it gives you this whoosh, and then all the bad thoughts and stuff fall outa your head and down on down to hell where they belong. Personally I'da preferred floating, but at least with this method gravity's on your side..." from Watching the Human Race: "The crowd freezes, and for one heavenly long moment, everything seems to go into slow motion. Marla looks at the hundreds of men, women, children, and wheelchair racers and sees a procession of bodies in meditation. Thousands of people in motion, yet nobody stepping on anyone else. Yes, there are a few who are sizing up the competition, but mostly they are deep within themselves, running the best they can. They run like a heartbeat. Hearts with legs." |
