Product Description
Product Description
From the imagination of writer Michael Rouse-Deane comes a book jam-packed with stories varying from the bizarre to the normal. This collection of short stories shows the development of his writing from 1992 to 2004--The Millennium Years, with the bizarreness that can only come from a mind that constantly over-imagines the world around him.
Michael merges both the normal workings of life, as well as the future prospects of "what if," to give you over eighty stories of immense strangeness and heartwarming pleasure. Paperback Writer is Michael's first book, and contains the writer's comments on why, how and what made him write such bizarre stories, commenting on each one of his stories in the Writer's Commentary.
Delve into his bizarre universe and emerge with a different perspective of the world around you. You won't be calling babies "cute" anymore.
From the Author
This is a collection of all my short stories from 1992 to 2004. It includes grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and punctuation errors as well, to show you how I've developed over the years.
This book includes many talked about stories including Adorable Baby, Sun Rise, Prospectus Life - One Previous Owner, X3 and Clown.
I hope you enjoy my book, just as I've enjoyed writing them.

Fantastically written,
By
This review is from: Paperback Writer (Paperback)
This book reads brilliantly! With many books, you can read so far but stop reading because they become boring - This is an exception as each story is completely different and is thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. I cannot wait for the author to publish more books, hopefully the 'Urayon' ones...

4.0 out of 5 stars
A unique experience,
By Darlene Landis "dfalconet" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Paperback Writer (Paperback)
This book will be a truly unique experience for most readers. The chance to see the evolution of an author! It is a collection of short stories written by Mike from the age of 16 to the ripe old age of 2l and is his first published book.
His ideas mainly come from every day life. He manipulates these ordinary things into things that no longer seem ordinary. I felt he had been looking over my shoulder seeing the things that I had also seen. I expect he would have the same affect on most people. A very entertaining read; somtimes causing tears, sometimes laughter and sometimes thougtfullness. I highly recommend this book. I would have rated it 5, but he is not done growing yet. |
