Meet Nick—young, single, handsome, and about to lose his mother to breast cancer. Upon hearing that she has only eighteen months to live, Nick decides that he wants her to see her only child get married before she dies. Backed by his friend and editor, Craig, Nick sets out to find a wife in a year’s time, anonymously writing about his hell-bent search for love in a column for the San Diego Reader. In no time, Nick’s hilarious struggles with a self-absorbed actress, a foreign med student, a driven political aide, and a down-to-earth movie star transform “Anonymous” into the talk of the town—and then the nation. Trapped by his faceless celebrity, burdened with an outlandishly single best friend, hamstrung by a floundering acting career, and overwhelmed by the fear of losing his mother, Nick becomes more and more desperate as time runs out. Can a man who was always convinced he would “neva hafta” settle for an uninspiring relationship find true love—on a timeline?

Fighting Words And Other Loving Thoughts is a collection of poems and short stories deeply rooted in the human condition. It speaks to the dichotomy of love and its many forms. An emotional and mental radio of sorts, it is written with the understanding that one page may be the introduction of a character you merely admire from afar whereas the next will read like a summary of your life. It does not shy away from speaking out on the subjects that tug at the heart and boggle the mind. Its language is brash, gentle, metaphoric, in-your-face, decorated and stripped bare. It is a wild and unapologetic journey through the heart and mind that will inevitably leave you changed. If you have ever loved, hated, laughed, cried or existed, you will want to read this book.

Whether from established authors or by writers new to fiction, the short stories in this volume explore life as change, using Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 as the lens. The writers come from different backgrounds, perspectives, and levels of familiarity with the short story, but what ties them together is a willingness to creatively explore the raw and more uncomfortable dimensions of life--big events and small happenings--all bound up by a recognition of the inevitability and (dis)comfort of change. Each writer has a story to tell, a creative and imaginative angle on life as it happens somewhere to someone. Life Sentences represents an experiment, a recognition of and confrontation with the depth of culture and culture's life maps, with the ways in which the joys and troubles of life are given meaning. This collection attempts to address these large (and small) challenges and dynamics of life without the jargon of the professional philosopher or theologian but with the more earthy language of popular culture: the short story.
