About
Bob Frey loves to entertain, make people laugh and think, and, perhaps, shake them up a little. He was a copywriter for several top Los Angeles advertising agencies and received several awards for his creative work. When he turned to writing fiction, he found it was a whole new ballgame and he had a lot to learn. He has since published a couple of mysteries, The DVD Murders and The Bashful Vampire Murder & Comic Book Murders, and Catawampus Tales, a book of short stories, a mixed-bag of fast food for the mind.
Also an actor, he has appeared in some forty independent films and stage plays. He now lives in Sandy, Oregon, with his wife, Susan.
New Alpha Rising: Ascension Part I
Description
<p>Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview.<br />Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.</p>
Story Behind The Book
For me, writing books is more than a business. I write for pleasure. Critics say if you want to build a career, you should stick to one genre because that’s what your readers expect and they will be disappointed if you don’t. They are probably right. Having been an actor, to me it’s a little bit like type casting. Look what happened to poor Tony Perkins and Vincent Price. I write what interests me, and if people pay to read what I’ve written, well, that’s frosting on the cake.
Reviews
<strong>Deliciously Eclectic<br /></strong>Known for his satirical style, Bob Frey does not disappoint in "Catawampus Tales," a collection of short stories that range from humorous to outrageous, and can be categorized as "deliciously eclectic." Just when you feel like you know what's going to happen next, Frey jolts you with a twist. The arrangement of short stories is such that they bounce from science fiction to a romantic fantasy, and everything in between--there's definitely something for the avid and casual reader. The memorable stories of the collection are "Zombie Fight Song," and "Supermale's Gone and Left Us." Simply put, if you like books where the flow is nearly impeccable, easy to read--without losing any of the substance--and a sense of humor, this is it.--J.R. Shah, Amazon review
