The Blender Effect: Excerpts from the Meandering Muse

by Katherine Mayfield

Winner of the Reader's Favorite and New England Book awards, author Katherine Mayfield turns her attention from dysfunctional families to humor, short fiction, and unusual musings about life in the world today in this teaser from "The Meandering Muse," her recent book of humor, short fiction, and poetry.
