Tales of the Lost Flamingo takes its readers on a journey
through life's circus utilizing a cast of unforgettable characters
magically woven into twelve individual but interwined stories that
peek through the holes in the Big Top like a dozen wide-eyed
urchins.
Mr. Griffin's debut novella,, is a comic conundrum as wild and
wacky as a Volkswagen full of clowns. Enjoy the show as they
spasmodically spill out on the sawdust floor in a hysterical, heart
wrenching tarantella that only the manic music of Mr. Griffin's
calliope can provide.
Watch Chester Cranepool defy death beneath a falling safe. See
the President of the United States sing and dance his way into
historical oblivion. Go on patrol with the men of the 196th Light
Infantry Brigade in Viet Name. Take a midnight bus ride into
eternity with Sergeant Jerome Buck. Guzzle rum with famous artist
and relive the movie career of Lamar 'The Star' Fandango. Discover
love on your door step and experience Happy Hour with Big Al and
the gang at the Hideaway Bar. Meet the real Herman Melville as he
stalks a prehistoric mudfish in the Okefenokee Swamp. Drink pina
coladas with Elvis and vistit Sarasota, Florida's hottest night
spot. Wind up your visit to the Big Top with one last bumper car
ride you will never forget.
Grab a seat in the peanut gallery. The circus is coming to
town.
