Mental Meanderings

Short stories are a bit like hors d'oeuvres, a small taste of prose seasoned with the joys and tragedies of the human heart. Mental Menderings by M. Malcolm Moore offers a sampling of seven shorts to dust off the imagination as you wander through a mid-century boutique in central Texas, a dude ranch in Colorado, the king's chamber in the middle ages and the Lake Placid Olympics of the 1980s. The stories will have you munching on scenes from chocolate to salsa as you laugh and cry through this plate of plots.
