Lost Creatures Fun Facts (Part II)
LOST CREATURES Fun Fact #3
The title for Lost Creatures: Stories comes from the penultimate story in the collection “All of the Lost Creatures Are Found.” That story was inspired by all of the lost pet fliers I see posted around San Francisco and how I wish they could all be found.
The story was also inspired by the idea of childhood dreams combined with job titles I've come across on LinkedIn and how no child ever dreams of growing up to be a procurement analyst, a human resources generalist, or a senior account executive.
LOST CREATURES Fun Fact #4
The second story in Lost Creatures: Stories, “Riding the Softland Express,” originally appeared as “Softland” in my collection Shooting Monkeys in a Barrel: Ten Twisted Tales. That short story was the inspiration for my third novel Lucky Bastard.
