Who are the mysterious minds behind the scenes at St. Jude’s Medical Center? You’ve rubbed elbows with them every day. But, brace yourself for a wacky rendezvous with these folks and witness how they toss common sense out the window as the quirky new hospital boss, William Petty, shakes things up.
In the tangled love tale of Sally and Wes, the crystal ball of Sally’s mind foresees stormy weather ahead for their decade-long love story. As Wes’ art career skyrockets and Sally crafts furniture, cracks begin to show in their relationship. Sally, once the backbone of their duo, fears being left in the shadows and drops a bombshell, prompting Wes to pack his bags. The situation spirals to the point where they end up celebrating their tenth anniversary separately. With friends, art, and the vibrant city of Chicago rallying behind them, will this love story find its happy ending or is it curtains for this artistic duo?
Gathered in this volume is Thomas Cannon’s treasure trove of short stories, a mix of tales spanning genres with a sprinkle of fantasy magic towards the finale. In the spotlight is the title tale, “Alternate Forms of Life,” a gem close to the author’s heart. Meet Alexander, our quirky hero with Asperger’s, proving that those on the autism spectrum are vibrant souls. While Alexander isn’t a textbook example, his quirks add spice for laughs and drama. The goal? To resonate with folks on the autism spectrum and their loved ones through Alexander’s witty adventures. From sparks of inspiration, stories like “Hammerschlagen” blend everyday moments with beer tent fun, while “Seven Questions” dances with witchy prompts. And who knew that half a home could spark the tale of “Blue Tarp”? Join the whimsical journey through Cannon’s storytelling wonderland!
