"Dan Marvin's Change of Briefs" is an ambitious collection of 108 flash
ficton tales and the second in the Briefs for the Reading Room series. If you're
a flash fiction fan, this is a must-have collection from one of the premier
writers in this genre today. If you're simply someone who likes your prose
concise and can only spare a few minutes at a time to pick up a book, this is a
must-have book for you as well. If you're someone that knows someone that spends
quality time in the reading room on a regular basis and is hard to buy presents
for, man have you come to the right place! So what will you find in this book?
Here is an excerpt from SuperStuffed, a story about a toy rebellion: "Tonight
was the night! Everything was perfectly in place. Fire Engine Roy rolled out of
his parking spot next to a dusty tissue and slowly extended his ladder, making
sure to keep his siren from blaring at an inopportune time. It really wasn’t
much of a concern as his batteries were already nearly dead. Two Christmases ago
he had been the cause of much excitement, now he was an afterthought, soon to be
donated to Goodwill." What won't you find? Most flash fiction tends to take
itself too seriously with excessive gore, bad language, and violence. Not here!
These stories manage to arrive at satisfying conclusions, typically with gentle
humor and an ending you didn't see coming. They are the result of hundreds of
hours of writing, feedback, refining, and editing. Many of these stories have
won contests or been published by online e-zines and magazines. I am confident
that you will enjoy them again and again. Thank you for considering "Dan
Marvin's Change of Briefs" and I hope you will purchase my
book.
