Crazy Dame, James E. Slaughter - A gangster, fresh from a payroll heist, falls into the clutches of a woman who proves more than a match for him.
Septentrion, J. M. Pereira - A Portuguese man embarks on a journey into the Russian Summer to discover the city of St. Petersburg and perhaps himself.

In regards to Fat Man Falling…
With a Joplinesque syncopation (Scott or Janis, your choice), a cadence and a flair-fulness of language that’s buttressed by an abridged anthology of hilarious intersecting-tangents, this short character study is so stylistically-devilish and intricate in its pace, that I couldn’t wait to discover what adventure each subsequent sentence had in store for me.
I could’ve imbibed, at minimum, 3 more pigeon-centric “What would I do?” mugfuls of our passively-antagonistic-protagonist’s mid-air encounter with an innocent bystander..correction, innocent byFLYER.
Using a Hephaestus-like adeptness for veracious wit and an unfaltering turn-of-phrase, the author forges the facts of life for both the animate and inanimate. Smithing, brief and astoundingly entertaining CVs for the otherwise mundane “things” we call nouns.
After the quenching and tempering of the wordsmith’s tale are done and the polish and finish have been thoroughly admired, you’re left with the lasting memory of a delightful jaunt through the mind of one talented-ass-mfer……27 adopted cats. LOL.
(Insert Reading Rainbow’s “you just learned something” lead-out sound here.)
