💭Our Thoughts

"The avocado, coffee, bubbles, sparkles, so close to understanding it was confusing"

About sums it up!

This went far beyond what I expected from a collection of short stories

I was thinking regular short stories, but this was so much more fun.

Think more a collection of interconnected tales that delve into the human psyche using prose and humor, and at times a little angst

We start at Ripple Media, each story a tale involving one of its employees or someone associated with the people and/or company

From the workaholic to the shafted, all the way down to the dreamers and the didnt do'ers

Each story is a fantastical tale that takes a paradoxical look at everyday life for that character

The grind. The greed. The desire. The dreams.

Some stories are humorous, some touching, others were more...

In your face?

All, however, left a mark

I truly can't do this book justice. Probably why I'm not a writer

I can tell you if you are looking for something different - fun, yet introspective - that will give you pause, stay with you long after you close its pages, then you will want to one-click this one

I can promise it will be well-read in any home
