About this ebook
"Love will eat your heart like an apple..."
So begins a strange quest in "For Love of Three Oranges," a dark fable from Spain about the sweetness and pain of living in the world, involving along the way a frog prince, an ogre and an alchemist.
"Long ago, far away" brings together ten tales of murder, betrayal, bad luck and other disappointments.
A kingdom brought low by monsters, murders and the usual relationship baggage...
A cynical veteran of the Great War who is a member of a secret society of seduction gets pulled into an erotic game of sexual politics as it plays out across the clubs, cafes and alleyways of Paris in 1923.
A storybook meets Tarantino: Gun play, betrayals, a deal gone south, and a frog and a mouse whose reckless love cuts a bloody swath through the forest.
The game is afoot, but Sherlock Holmes is an ocean away. Sgt. Woodrow Walsh of the North West Mounted Police chases a killer through a bustling Canadian city, but the corpse's secrets are even more dangerous.
And more...

Jeff Solmundson
As a child Jeff Solmundson was led astray by comic books into all sorts of other strange and wayward tales in various mediums, leading to an incurable fascination with narrative. In his spare time he likes to pull stories apart and put them back together again. Solmundson has at times been a public relations rep, newspaper editor, magazine writer, treeplanter, college radio station deejay and an amateur detective feigning blindness. He lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. All in all, not a bad place to live and work. Summer is wonderful. As for its counterpart, the 19th century settlers who perished leaving behind nothing but shallow graves and their diaries, said it best: "Winters are hard."
