About the Book

Did Armageddon occur 63 million years ago?Why is baseball being played on the other side of our gallaxy? How can love flourish within a society that measures it's hisotry in minutes? BLACK CATS AND BLUE BIRDS is a collection of the most inventive short fiction to hit bookstores within recent memory. Readers will be swept away on a frantic roller coaster ride that will test both their imagination and their emotions.

Although serendipitous in nature, the sixteen tales each contain a tidbit of truth that reflects the fragile nature of the human condition. The power of fable has rarely been put to better use. As the author states, "My talent is best expressed by putting my most fanciful daydreams on paper...unicorns and fairy queens are of no importance to me; my imagination reaches beyond unicorns."
