Description
Living in the thin strip that is Malibu, with celebrities on one side of the highway, and the wilderness of The Foothill Mountains on the other, a young woman begins to suffer from cognitive dissonance. Her hallucinates are comfortable; she has more control as a rapacious swamp monster than she does in real life. But as civilization starts to encroach once more on her domain, she begins to see the benefits of being human, and confusion and conscience return to spoil her unbridled appetite.
About the Author
I am the ninth of ten children, and I write because dinnertime for us was all about the story. I studied with Tobias Wolf at Syracuse, which was a dream come true for me. My classmate was George Saunders so that was another dream come true. I have about twenty published stories in storySouth, Drunken Boat, the 2nd Hand Review, and on
and on. I had my first rejection from the Atlantic Monthly when I was twelve years old. I wrote a story in dull pencil on a scrap of paper, and the editor sent me back a kind note in dull pencil on a scrap of paper. I publish in all genres and I once wrote lines for a talking crow for an educational bilingual TV show for children.
