Suspenseful Tales with a Twist in the Spirit of Ray Bradbury & the Twilight ZoneLet me start our journey together with a brief introduction. My name is Mimi Rawlins. I was born and raised in Foster Flat, a small southern town nestled in the North Carolina mountains. For being such a small, normally quiet town it has a surprising number of fantastic occurrences that I've had the privilege to witness in one form or another. In fact, I credit these bizarre occurrences with leading me to my career as a newspaper reporter for the rag, The Global Inquiry. Of course, you may doubt their validity. You'll need to decide for yourself as to the truthfulness you'll find in each fable. My role is simply to report upon them as they happened, or as they were reported to me by the honest, upstanding citizens of Foster Flat; many of whom have been my friends for most of my life. Thus begins Fantastic Fables of Foster Flat; a collection of suspenseful tales with a twist written in the spirit of Ray Bradbury and the Twilight Zone--two influences that greatly impacted the author's life growing up. Written by W. Bradford Swift under the pen name of Orrin Jason Bradford.

A thirteen-year-old boy with a vivid imagination in a mountain town known for the bizarre. A formula for a suspenseful tale with a twist. Thirteen-year-old Dodger Dean has a vivid imagination that tends to get him in trouble at times — as in six or seven times a day. So much so that his mother has to beg Uncle Matt to take Dodger for a couple months each summer so she can recover a shred of sanity. But Foster Flat, where Uncle Matt lives, has its own unique characteristics that make for a dangerous combination for a boy like Dodger, who sometimes crosses the line with his imaginative stories of adventure and intrigue. If you’re a fan of such stories as appeared on The Twilight Zone and those told by writers like Ray Bradbury and Neil Gaiman, you’ll feel right at home in Foster Flat as you journey into the world of a thirteen-year-old with an imagination that often clashes with the real world. Pick up this free short story excerpted from Fantastic Fables of Foster Flat today.

Pick up your copy today and begin to hope for a better future today! Early Reviews: Are You Kidding Me! Terrific and timely political fiction laced with humor. In 2020 one candidate for the Presidency could change everything The Fringe Candidate, by Brad Swift, is inspired by Marianne Williamson, a candidate in the 2020 elections against Donald Trump for the Presidency. While this is a fictional story, it is 100% on the mark with regards to the state of America’s political system, showing without apology or pulling any punches, that it has clearly been hijacked by those with money and power. Knocking you out of your sox. I simply had to smile a number of times what with the naming convention followed in the naming of the major characters. Oscar Wellian? Orwellian allegorical in nature? However thinly disguised the naming convention, there is no disguising the fact that The Fringe Candidate is a major political commentary on American elective procedures. If judging on the first book, The Fringe Candidate, the Amberica series is going to knock a whole lot more readers out of more than just their sox. You'll laugh, scream, throw the book, cry, and who knows what else? I mean, let's face it, the names are... well, they're not very well disguised. The President who tweets constantly, with the Orwellian (clearly) name and complex (also clear)... The complete unknown who comes from nowhere to take on the fight to win the Presidency... there's so much to dissect here, it's hard to really get into, and without spoilers? Yikes! The Power of Truth and Desire I loved the intrigue and the ease with which the story flowed, first. Secondly, I liked how what seems impossible can become possible. I think we all need models of that in our lives, certainly, I do. Most of all I enjoyed seeing how the love or desire for something can make a huge difference in one's life. Laugh, curse, and a good story to enjoy This is very closely tied to our election process, for better or worse. A good insight into what happens behind the scenes. It will make you laugh, piss you off and make you want to read it. Enjoy and vote. A great read I really enjoyed this story and the way that it gave a look at what our government is doing. The editing was done very well throughout the book, to me it was more worth read and I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.

They who pose the greatest risk possess our only hope... As it remains, Earth's denizens are largely unaware that a new species walks amongst them. In the wake of a laboratory accident—one that may have sealed man's fate—those called 'the Kindred' were born. Each possessing singular powers, immature but menacing, the siblings share a human father...and alien DNA. It's yet to be seen whether these children wish to side with humanity or help facilitate the invasion coded in their genetic instructions, but one thing is frightfully clear: should they fall into sinister hands, the world won't stand a chance. As known to fewer still, this end-game scenario has already begun to play out, as several of the Kindred have been captured by a tyrannous sheik, and, unless something is done, it's only a matter of time before the rest are hunted down. James and Pat will coordinate a rescue team like none ever seen, but, once inside the belly of the beast, all bets are off... Deftly splicing story arcs while building tension ever-higher, sci-fi maven Bradford proves the sky is not the limit with a mesmerizing climax to the six-part FreeForm Series.
