Synopsis

Like petits fours at a party, these seven short pieces of fiction aim to satisfy the reader’s taste for something small and sweet. But maybe not so sweet in a few cases. In Bithersby’s Bored Birthday, an enterprising private detective encounters something most unusual–and she’s all in black. Piotr’s Great Find reveals the mysteries of the universe in the kitchen sink, and in The Strawberry People of Miracle City strangers come from nowhere to bring a strange prosperity to a tiny farming town. Stalked is a creepy murder mystery in which the newspaper-reporter narrator becomes an unwilling character (hint: the butler didn’t do it). Sort out At Play, for a veritable layer cake of interacting characters. The Piano Box lets you put a piano in a garage if you insist, and then there’s Conspirators. They’re more than willing to help out their fellow high-rise tenants. Seven courses. It's the reader’s equivalent of visiting a buffet and grazing the assortment of comestibles. But don’t be shy. No one is watching. Have a taste of everything.
