Josh Fireland has been writing on the internet for forever. His books include the cubicle diary THE HOUSE OF WIGS, the story collection KNIFE FITE, and the maritime noir novel CHOKEVILLE.
Thirteen short stories. Very short...but more impressive for the brevity. Mr. Allen packs more feeling, more humor into his writing than most authors I have read. There's a sincerity behind the silliness, and an authenticity in his language. I felt respect for the reader--that the author was counting on a sense of humor and imagination. A joy to read.
Oh, I almost forgot: I LOVE the way technology is depicted in the stories. As a career techie, the presence of tech is usually a deal breaker for me.
