Back in the Sixties while Motown hits filled the airwaves, naive
Jill Novak acknowledged her knack for choosing losers when boring
Husband Number One vanished, leaving her to support their
two-year-old. Afflicted with planning deficit disorder, the
perpetual daydreamer soon morphs from small town Jill to
sophisticated big city Cherie, but a new name does not a better
future bring. In 1969 Houston, Cherie encounters a rogue's gallery
of characters unlike those from her small Texas hometown; a
drop-dead gorgeous transsexual, a snarling wannabe Mafia hit-man, a
hairy cop who incorporates fondling girls into his job, and a ditzo
neighbor whose desire for friendship borders on stalking. But it is
two distinctly different men-a middle-age gregarious gambler and a
twenty-something gruff intellectual-who jump on board her turbulent
thirty-year roller coaster ride and journey with her into the 21st
Century and womanhood."
"Michael McCarty's 'A Little Help from My Fiends' truly shines. His
collection of short stories is a lovingly created, watered with
blood and harvested at the peak of ripeness kind of work. The
approach to the collection is so fresh that -- were it a steak --
you would note still a bit of warmth and even a faint pulse. You
see, each story in this collection is co-authored with another
excellent storyteller. Mark McLaughlin, Terrie Leigh Relf and Dave
Miller, to name a few, make appearances. Each short story is
prefaced with a few words that identify the co-author, point to an
interesting tidbit of the tale's creation, and never fail to show
McCarty lauding the co-author while remaining modestly in the
background." -- Sylvia Cochran
Curiously Odd Moral Insights for Children (COMIC) includes short
stories and poems each highlighting a moral within a story
delivering insights about good behavior. The stories are great for
story times or individual readings and include tales about helpful
clowns, friendship between a dog and a turtle and a misguided
witch, among other tales. Children will love the flow of poetry and
short stories, and the book encourages discussion between children
and adults about morals.
This volume assembled a devil's brew of horror, from prolific
author Mike McCarty and a wide-ranging crew of collaborators,
including Mark McLaughlin, P.D. Cacek, Jeffrey Thomas, Charlee
Jacob, Cristopher Hennessey-DeRose, Sandy DeLuca, Teri A. Jacobs,
R.L. Fox, Cindy Hulting, and Michael Romkey.
