Detours: Twelve Stories

Uncontrolled obsessions and murky secrets derail ordinary lives into chaos in DETOURS.
Outwardly, they might appear to be everyday souls—an eccentric and lonely dog lover, a cold-blooded and manipulative career woman, an awkward and antisocial fitness class member, a naïve and desperate aspiring actress, a sly and introverted psychiatrist. Yet, beneath their external veneers bubble extraordinary impulses about to be unleashed.
Who would expect them to do the unthinkable—plot a child’s kidnapping, get revenge with a Boa constrictor, or stalk an unsuspecting girl to possess her? Consumed by such escapades, they abandon inhibitions and normalcy in a desperate bid to fulfill far-fetched notions.
As their lives are spun around in pursuit of passions, the characters of DETOURS mirror the confounding enigmas of our human condition. They reflect the myriad mysteries that lie within us all and explore how far someone will deviate to chase compulsions or hide aberrant behavior.
