The book I have written for your enjoyment, Bedtime Stories That May Go Bump in the Night is ten short stories that lend either a little scare or humor and are all a work of fiction. “The Prize,” the first story in the collection, is about a troubled man whose problems overwhelm him. Is he a criminal? This story has lots of bumps. “Mr. Marlo Monster Hunter” is about a six-year-old boy who learns special skills to deal with scary situations and teaches them to others. This story has a few bumps. Marvin’s Adventures is about a purple bunny; his best friend, Betty; the fashionista dancing cow; and a few of his other friends and the adventures they find on and around the farm. More adventure than bumps. “Extraordinary Pillow Guy” is a Texan pillow who tells tall tales. He stretches the truth to unbelievable lengths. This one has a few bumps. There are two stories in this title. “Tastie Frees” is an action story that has a few bumps. The Frees family is being hunted, and eight-year-old Tastie has been left in a panic room. “Desert Soldiers” is a poem about the unexpected. More excitement than bumps. “Spots” is about twin leopards being returned to the wild and what happens. Expect a few bumps. “The Three Somethings or Other” is my take on the three little pigs. Humor, recipes, and a few bumps. “Hey, Jude” is an adventure story about a helpful ant. More adventure than bumps. I hope you enjoy this collection.
