Doctor Nah

Scanlan Grimes, the hero (after a fashion) of last year’s novella, The Little Sistah, returns in the short story Doctor Nah, which bridges the gap between his debut adventure and its inevitable sequel. A search for a missing cat leads our hero to a vicious drug dealer who kills kitties for pleasure. There’s plenty of noir humor, yet it’s also a heartwarming holiday confection. Don’t expect It’s a Wonderful Life, however. It’s never a wonderful life in the ghetto.

And short! Give it a try. It won’t take up too much space on your hard drive or too many minutes out of your life. And if you don’t like it, just drag it over to the Recycle Bin. That being said, we think you will like it, dear reader. And for those of you without a Kindle, Nook, or other tablet, don’t let that stop you. Doctor Nah, as well as The Little Sistah, can be downloaded as a .pdf, HTML, or .rtf file, easily enjoyed on your PC or laptop. It can be read in the time it takes you to peruse the online news, twit, tweet, and do the Facebook thing over your morning pumpkin spice latte. That’s why they call ’em short stories!
