Stranger than Truth
People do the strangest things, and in fifteen skillfully crafted stories New Orleans native Jack Strange explores the strangeness with compassion and understanding, irony and humor, and symbolism and suspense. In “California or Bust,” a woman gives birth in an airplane restroom and then leaves the baby in a trash can. In “An Old Road,” a Bible salesman preys upon an old woman’s fears and weaknesses to make the sale. In “Hands,” a woman believes she's visited nightly by the hands of a ghostly lover. In “1:00 A.M.,” a doctor sneaks out of his wife’s bed to ride his bicycle in search of his mistress at an early hour. In “How I Lost My Baby Girl,” a man loses his baby daughter forever to his ex-wife and her lawyerly lover. In “Trick Wedding,” a man marries a woman he knows for a fact cheated on him. In “Desmond Rex,” sin and suicide turn a man into a monster. These and other stories are sure to entertain, enlighten, and delight any reader.

Would-Be Poems
Will the real Jack Strange please stand up! In Would-Be Poems, poetic master of disguise Jack Strange claims to step into the shoes of a fictional unnamed “would-be poet” in order to discover what it’s like to be ordinary. But the fictional would-be poet also tries on myriad masks and voices as he navigates the psychosocial stages of his imaginary life. The result is an extraordinary assortment of “would-be poems” which ultimately reveal not the mind of Jack Strange or the would-be poet but the minds of the characters they play. So who is Jack Strange? In Would-Be Poems, he’s you and me and the society in which we live, love, work and die.
