The Gospel According to Saint Scooter

The seventeen stories in this collection range from short vignettes to sprawling novellas. The characters who appear in them are ordinary folk, full of flaws and frailties, who embark upon journeys that call them to rise to unforeseen challenges. These ‘expeditions’, which variously take them to the very frontiers of life, shift their perception of themselves and the world in which they live, love, and toil. Most of these yarns are tales of redemption (and sometimes serendipitous justice) with characters who are good people at heart, yet who may seem rough-hewn with their sometimes spicy language. And they are visual stories, meant to unfold like movies in the reader’s mind. For surely everybody’s going somewhere, looking for something or someone. Often such discoveries are made in unexpected ways, and it’s how each person makes that journey that spins a good tale.
