Origination: Twelve Tales of Inner Mind and Outer Matter

Fiction is truth shrouded in lies. The twelve original tales in Origination entertain you with just the sort of lies that might, if you squint hard, reveal a bit of shrouded truth. The stories run from speculative fiction to humor to the origin of the universe, with visits to some odd nooks and crannies in between. In Showtime at the Apocalypse Theater, Liechtenstein invades Switzerland over unpaid speeding tickets and the situation escalates. In Achoo!, the Junior College of American Pathology has a tiny, virus-related problem and Dr. Rigby is in the hot seat. In other stories, an artist paints perfection, a suburban housewife…isn’t, a rock carver redefines the meaning of motion pictures, The Aristocrats are bored (duck!), a little old lady becomes a secret agent, a businessman struggles to resurrect a struggling business, the Bureaucracy survives and thrives, time machines aren’t real—or are they?, and there’s even a food fight in a college cafeteria. This book represents the best of my short stories from the Beginning of Time until The Time of Publication. It also includes a look at how my daughter and I developed the cover art and a peek Behind the Scenes of each story’s origin.
