    About this ebook

    From cursed lunch ladies to the unexpected fears of dating a taxidermist, Kara Bartley unleashes
    her first anthology of short stories. Join her on this rollercoaster of ups and downs as she delves
    into a world of women gone mad, clowns run amuck, medicated waitresses and bizarre pet
    scenarios. With a few heart-felt life lessons sewn into the stitching, this quilt of colourful tales
    will have you questioning not only the cosmos, but also the food at the high school cafeteria.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kara Bartley has always been interested in animals, so it comes as no surprise that her world is surrounded by them in both her life and imagination. She has a bachelor’s degree in Biology/Earth Science, a post-graduate diploma in Geographic Information Systems and a master’s degree in Vertebrate Paleontology. In the spring of 2002, she began writing her first novel, The Siamese Mummy, while on a dig for fossils in Kansas. Kara is also the author of The Unearthlings, Call of Adhara and The Moon In Habock’s Mirror. She lives in Niagara Falls, Ontario, with her three Siamese cats Apollo, Achilles and Agamemnon. Her horse, Dapplynn, is her biggest companion and anxiously awaits the day that she too, will have a guest appearance in one of her mother’s books.
