Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lupus Kid and Other Stories For a year Bob Wendell recorded the path his life took through illness and despair. He was alive and grateful for that much. But the turn his relationship would take, and the downfall of those around him, made Wendell question the very meaning of his existence. Set under the gray skies of the Pacific Northwest, The Lupus Kid and Other Stories gives more than insight into life with chronic illness; it provides a glimpse into the human condition and the struggle to maintain dignity and hope. And that while hope doesn't come easily, it is sometimes found in the most unlikely places. "But tomorrow comes and even as agonizingly slowly as the days pass, they nonetheless do. And whether you're having the time of your life, or the hell of your life, they pass in a collective whole and are gone, irretrievably so." From The Lupus Kid and Other Stories

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Menopausal Musings is a collection of small novellas. Each novella follows the inner world of one character's contorted thoughts as they cope with the crisis of middle age. We observe these afflicted people as they exist at different times of day. All are urban characters who live alone in New York City. All are trapped within the walls of their apartments and trapped in their minds and unable to escape. We listen and observe as their minds twirl with hopes, dreams, bitterness, and anger. We cringe as we watch their souls cringe because of isolation from family, friends, and the rest of humanity. They're humans set adrift in a unforgiving world with its billions of unmarked faces. Yet, their pain is our pain; their longing is our longing. And, that is the whole point.
