Cooter

by Linda Hull, Dave Robinson (Editor), Andrew Gray (Editor)

Bedford Crane saw something strange in the woods when he was thirteen, and it ruined his life. Or was it his brother that did that? Years later, the two of them camp out together for a night of beer, aliens, and redemption. What they both see and do is going to require a lot of explaining... and a couple of extraterrestrial tourists will be turning in their galactic passports. Cooter is a story of friendship, obsession, cultural misunderstandings, and cow parts. Full of laughs, pop-culture and a few chills, this is a great read that will leave you wanting more. “The Extraterrestrial Anthology, Volume Reír,” contains stories to make you think and laugh.

About the author

Linda Hull grew up in Miami, Florida, spending most of her time playing with imaginary friends and making up stories. Once in a while, she would write some of those stories down and distribute them among a very select, highly amused few.

She had a varied start to her career, working first in restaurants, department stores, airlines, a car wash, a dry cleaner's and, very briefly, a pizza delivery service. Linda then found her calling (one of several) and began to work in the travel industry for airlines and cruise lines where she got the chance to travel the world.

Linda then answered a second calling as a theatre tech in a theme park where she got to watch kids see their fantasies come to life and meet lots of creative types who encouraged her to follow her dream of becoming a writer. So she went to Rollins College and got a BA in English/Writing from Rollins College. Since then Linda Hull's work has been seen onstage at Universal Studios, Florida, the Orlando Fringe Festival and onscreen at a number of film festivals.

Balancing a full-time job with freelance editing, promoting her stories and writing something new, Linda Hull is hoping to drag herself out of the starving artist category by offering her work at .99 instead of free.

Reviews

I laughed out loud. A fun, short read.

[Ann · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mildly amusing as a sci-fi tale. It was really more of a short story than a book. Lots of famous movie quotes- meant to be funny.

I just could not get into this book. Too much scifi for me.
