Like petits fours at a party, these seven short pieces of fiction aim to satisfy the reader’s taste for something small and sweet. But maybe not so sweet in a few cases. In Bithersby’s Bored Birthday, an enterprising private detective encounters something most unusual–and she’s all in black. Piotr’s Great Find reveals the mysteries of the universe in the kitchen sink, and in The Strawberry People of Miracle City strangers come from nowhere to bring a strange prosperity to a tiny farming town. Stalked is a creepy murder mystery in which the newspaper-reporter narrator becomes an unwilling character (hint: the butler didn’t do it). Sort out At Play, for a veritable layer cake of interacting characters. The Piano Box lets you put a piano in a garage if you insist, and then there’s Conspirators. They’re more than willing to help out their fellow high-rise tenants. Seven courses. It's the reader’s equivalent of visiting a buffet and grazing the assortment of comestibles. But don’t be shy. No one is watching. Have a taste of everything.

Jay Gross is a cynical humorist, or is that humorous cynic. He’s a former newspaper reporter and editor (“but I’ve reformed!”), a magazine writer, editor, and publisher, a non-fiction author, a freelance technical and creative writer and editor, and a commercial and fine-art photographer. He’s also a geek (not planning to reform anytime soon), and a novelist. A native of Aiken, South Carolina, he’s called central South Carolina home since the late 1960s, but admits to having lived other places, including Charlottesville, Virginia, North Augusta, South Carolina, and even Charlotte, North Carolina. He loves cats, books, coffee and classical music, preferably all at one time.
