Description

Normal people do not grow up to be writers. Most who know Mark A. Nobles and Kelley Baler will tell you these two aren't normal and never grew up to boot. In this collection of stories, Mark and Kelley have gathered a collection of stories showcasing their off-kilter memories, imaginations, and character flaws. Be it getting busted for drugs at Baptist Church Camp at fifteen, to standing up a young woman so you'll always be a fond memory and not the loser you know you are. Working in a trophy factory for a demented hoarder to being pummeled by an eighty-six-pound, four-foot-tall bar owner who loves professional wrestling.

It's looking back on a life well lived or knowing that your life will be brutally short, from long nights spent in bars to summoning the devil at the crossroads.

Kelley and Mark may be from different parts of the country, but their sensibilities are never far off. These two retired desperados weave misfit stories about people doing the best they can in places far off the beaten path.
