GRANDPA GETS A TATTOO AND OTHER STORIES by Michael Massee |
Ancient underground earth-dwellers enlist three humans-a Native American with a spirit guide, a woman with a desperate plan, and a young African scientist-to help them save humanity. A Vietnam vet comes to terms with the past. Humor abounds when a persnickety grandma and her wifi-deprived granddaughter are forced to head for the hills during a pandemic. A vulnerable twelve-year-old saves a queen, two princes, and himself in his fairy-tale world. And getting away with murder can be quite satisfying! These page-turning stories are full of unexpected turns, shocking revelations, and surprise endings. Some feature mystical connections or supernatural powers; others reflect some of the difficult social problems of our age. And we are treated to rich local color-streets and scenery, shops and parks, entertainment and eating establishments-in settings as far apart as Atlantic City and Portland, Oregon. These authentic details enhance the appeal of these highly engaging stories. |
