Overview

The fantastic, intriguing, and exciting stories and legends of mysterious creatures and their enigmatic habits have been well documented and retold over and over for millennia… But what do these critters do during a regular day in their lives? It almost seems as though their normal lives are even more mysterious than their legendary brushes with mankind. For instance, how does Bigfoot fare during a trip to the grocery store? Can the Loch Ness Monster deal with customer service representatives long enough to get her rockin’ custom made electric guitar replaced? Are mummies able to adequately replace broken air conditioning units and interpret text messages from their estranged ex-girlfriends? Can the robot that the Loch Ness Monster built to simplify her life adequately perform stand-up comedy and survive being launched into space?

The Humdrum Lives of Cryptids, Monsters, and Villains examines these scenarios and many more! No longer will the day-to-day activities of these creatures remain shrouded in mystery. This collection of thirteen original short stories includes:

Bigfoot: A Trip to the Grocery Store
Zombie: Attending an Outdoor Music Festival
Loch Ness Monster: Ordering an Electric Guitar
Mummy: Repairing an Air Conditioner
Werewolf: Opening A Café
Mermaid: Replacing a VCR
Centaur: A Subpar Vacation Experience
Minotaur: Ordering a Pizza to the Labyrinth
Bigfoot: Starting a Blog
A Day in the Afterlife of Bigfoot’s Ghost: Renewing a Library Card
Some Ado About Literally Everything: A Play by William Snakespeare
The Robot Loch Ness Monster: Trying Stand-Up Comedy Again
Dragon: Selected for Jury Duty

About the Author

Howdy! The books and stories I've now published are a far-cry from the torn and worn notepad in which I jotted a brief story regarding my G.I. Joes some twenty-odd years ago (I like to think that my writing has gotten much better since first grade too). I would like to sincerely thank you for stopping by and (hopefully) reading some of my work. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time to share my stories with the world.

It took a great deal of patience and wherewithal of mind to overcome my habit of daydreaming these distant worlds and fantastic scenarios and actually sit down to write about them. From long nights in front of a glowing computer, to jotting outlines during lunch at work, to getting called out by professors for not paying attention in class when an idea struck, I've been honing my craft daily and working toward delivering stories that will excite, inspire, initiate reflection upon mankind's condition, and cause the reader to appreciate the real world around them as well as the fictional worlds that I have created.

I hope dearly that you enjoy my work. Be confident that, even now, I am striving and focusing toward delivering something better than I have before!
