Let Birds Fly

Enthralling related short stories that will make you gasp with surprise and delight!

Let Birds Fly is a collection of surreal short stories, a delightful display of magical realism done right, and all related to one another through their shared setting at a present-day Austin, Texas, marketing firm called Ripple Media. The stories are satisfying, easy to read, and ingenious, and each brushes up against the others much like a ripple from a stone dropped in a pond affects things in its vicinity. 

Ripple Media creates social media marketing content and promotions for emerging small businesses that need help navigating and managing their online presence. The stories feature an employee or associate of the firm as they go about their routine workday; however, today their experiences will be far from usual or mundane: think a modern-day Twilight Zone, with each tale landing slightly left and right of center. The results are fun, eye-opening, or gasp-inducing as the main characters discover something about themselves and their true desires, which often diverge from their day-to-day existence or company role. Each story is a gem. 

I recommend LET BIRDS FLY to readers of short stories of fantasy and magical realism.
