Lifescapes: Stories Mostly True..Or Not

Are you pressed for time in a daily round of family, commute, job, commute, family? Are you tired of the same old fantasy, sci-fi, or romance formulaic books that are somehow too familiar to hold your interest but are so popular that the water cooler conversation or book club chatter is obligated to focus on them? Are you a creative thinker open to off the wall new fiction interspersed with real life tales of the girl next door or that boy that you just never spoke to in third period algebra class and now, every so often, you find yourself wondering whether you should have? In Lifescapes, Stories Mostly True...Or Not you get a generous helping of tasty short stories plus a scintillating essay and a provocative values quiz to share, discuss, or pass by, if well, you just don't read that kind of thing. Zombies, religious cults, sex, drugs, nudity; they play a part in these tales as they play an integral part in the American psyche. Cee Poet invites today's discerning reader to take a step off the beaten path of predictable fiction in her first collection of short stories plus two. New to the writer's game after years as an educator, she feels the thrill and awkwardness of the first time, fumbling in the dark for the best phrase to use. The author promises not to reveal which stories are near truth and which tales are plausible fictions and spoil the reader's guessing game. For only a few dollars a download, Lifescapes, Stories Mostly True...Or Not costs less than a latte but contains so much more to sustain the reader than another shot of caffeine during a busy day. Our research predicts that a reader on average will like half of the stories and skip a third of them. Cee Poett anticipates many years ahead of continued struggle with inner demons while arm wrestling the tenth muse after this first published anthology.
