These stories have evolved from life-experience of a mish-mash concern that this modern environment forces upon us that we can do nothing about except complain. You may find them stupid maybe arrogant, offensive, yet think deeply and you may see that our society is being moulded by conformity to what ends no one knows.The theory of Bicameralism proposed by Julian Jaynes may account for the direction in which our world is going. Before Man became conscious...

A Tuxedo tomcat visits a home in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. He owns the long stairway from Vendome Street to Descanso Drive, known as the Music Box steps, where Laurel and Hardy filmed the schlep-a-thon piano delivery movie. He is named Yinyang.

Spent Nation is my first novel. I wrote it in 1993. Louis Malle, the French film director, wrote me a personal note of support. It's what grunge looked like from the inside, I suppose. I have stayed true to the original vision. Spent Nation is road trip across the corpse of a nation. The incoherent voice reflects the incomprehensible land. This is a novel of spelling, grammatical and plot horrors.

"Five Stories" contains five short stories which Jen wrote for the Amazon Shorts short fiction program. The last two stories, however, were not previously published because Amazon discontinued the program before they could be included.As a bonus, Jen decided to include the product descriptions for each story, as well as two rough drafts of "Picture Perfect."

"A Fresh Start" contains short stories which were written for both amusement and school assignments. This is the first time many of these works are made available to the public. To keep with the original authenticity, not much these stories have been changed.

Heretical discontent; that's what this collection of short stories is primarily intended for. Some of these stories are funny. Some of them are not. One of them is about a 'truffle-hunting hedgehog' as told by a silly old piss-pot. The publishers of 'Pride and Prejudice' may want to sue for damages after they see what has become of that pompous bore, Mr William Collins. Another story is set in Brooklyn, New York, against a backdrop of ferns. All of...
