    About this ebook

    In "The Pawn," our protagonist is a disgraced medieval commander who believes he's in his final days. When the opposition arrives at the battlefield earlier than expected, he must lead an entire army into battle -- while also battling a raging hangover.

    "The Shadow" follows Lesley, a single mom with an antsy two-year-old daughter named Jacenta. The girls wait in line for ice cream cones, but Jacenta cannot hold her bladder. Their lives are upended when a handsome security guard extends a helping hand.

    "The Elephant in the Trunk" tells the story of Cal and Ben, longtime friends and fraternity brothers. After a party that they hosted goes awry, the pair plans to wring their hands of the titular "Elephant." But tensions are high and it's never that easy.
