Farms fail, families break apart, work is hard to come by, and the characters in these fictional Midwestern towns are fueled by grief and hope, loss and desire.

'Chaotic and Curious' has a selection of short stories direct from the imagination of Lizzie Spence, except for three which actually happened to Lizzie but have been written up in the third person. To give the stories some explanation Lizzie would say that we all lead different lives - some lives are touched by events that can be explained, are carried along as if they were on a roller coaster, stressful yes but with a positive outcome. This defines the 'Chaotic' stories in my book. Others lives are touched by events which cannot be explained, paranormal perhaps - this might include the loss of a loved one and certainly includes the spiritual - that strange feeling that we sometimes have that we are being looked after by our forebears. This defines the 'Curious' stories in my book. My stories are not frightening; I think they contain hope for all who live life. If my characters were to meet each other they would all find something to talk about, their lives having been touched by something which was worth reporting which is true of all of us. Their lives are demanding but interesting and often mystifying but they can seek explanations where there are some. 'Chaotic and Curious' is about people with demanding, interesting and sometimes mystifying lives where all my characters find their own way through life challenges. The story characters represent all age groups.
Did you know that in 1520, at the age of 29, the English king Henry VIII challenged his French counterpart, King Francis I of France, to a wrestling match? Even more bizarrely, the entire affair took place at a lavish diplomatic conference in the middle of a field in Calais-with the English king eventually being outplayed and beaten by his French rival. (Happily, despite his notoriously fierce temper, Henry so admired King Francis that he took the defeat on the chin, and the pair steadfastly remained good friends!) Speaking of bizarre royal tales, did you know that another French king was so convinced that his internal organs were made of glass that he would sit for hours at a time on his throne, refusing to move a single muscle? And did you know that more than 100 different men once came forward claiming to be the long-lost son of Marie Antoinette, and therefore a claimant of the throne of France? And speaking of hoaxes and deceptions, have you heard the one about the architectural magazine that invented a town in Massachusetts just so it could use up all the unused photographs in its archive? Or how about the story of the two high-society women in Georgian London who so violently fell out with one another that they ended up dueling in their petticoats in the middle of Hyde Park more than 200 years ago? All of these remarkable tales-and dozens more like them!-are included in this new and fascinating collection of INTERESTING STORIES. ?Features more than 60 extraordinary and unbelievable tales ?Topics covered include sport, history, movies, science, music, nature, and language?Covers thousands of years of history ?Featuring stories from all around the world?Bonus chapters include lists of mad monarchs, hit songs written in less than an hour, and even a list of unusual animals that seemingly came back from the dead! As varied as all these stories and tales are-and as many subjects and places as this fascinating new book covers-they all have one thing in common. They're all definitely interesting!
