About this ebook
This special edition includes Despot Times, an even more absurd alternate version of the almost, but not quite, award-winning book, Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel.
The Town Administrator is extorting residents!
Subversive senior citizens are on the march!
Crazed ponies rampage through the streets!
Exclamation marks keep popping! up! everywhere!
Duncan and Maya Small have just relocated to a new town. Again. And almost immediately, Duncan is ready to move on thanks to a power-obsessed local official who has it out for him. But Maya has ideas of her own.
The Smalls soon discover nothing in their new town is at it seems, but one thing is certain - there's something funny going on.
Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel, is a comic tale about life, power, and new beginnings in a quirky little town that's decidedly off-the-wall, yet remarkably familiar. It's about the last Welcome Wagon, secret societies, and bake sales. It's about Duncan Small's fixation on process and Maya Small's unforeseen celebrity. It's about unexpected friendships, which may turn out to be the best kind there are.
In this alternate version, Despot TImes, Maya and Duncan face all the challenges of the original story, but now they also have to contend with a host of history's B-list monarchs, one of whom is trying to make a comeback and isn't about to let a little thing like being dead for centuries stand in the way.
Rob Roy O'Keefe
Rob Roy O’Keefe was raised in the Antarctic by a colony of emperor penguins, which explains both his love of fish and his intense anxiety when in the company of sea lions. At the age of 12 he left to go on walkabout, but upon learning that Australia was over 3,000 miles away, he took the more expedient route from Cape Melville, Antarctica to South America’s Cape Horn. He wandered north through the Andes, accumulated an abundance of practical knowledge, such as how to convince a hungry condor that you are not carrion. He eventually stumbled upon the hut of an Incan shaman who took him on as an apprentice. After a decade of immersion into the mysteries of the unseen world, Rob departed, fully prepared for his eventual success in the fields of pizza delivery, local politics, and brand consulting. Today, Rob resides in New England’s Merrimack Valley, where he lives in a tree house made of Good Humor popsicle sticks held together by the discarded dreams of retired sailors.
