Hello, and welcome to episode 554 of Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.
I'm David Barr Kirtley, author of the book Save me please and other stories.
Publishers Weekly visceral settings and robust characters will have readers marveling at how much Kirtley is able to fit into a limited page count for SFF fans.
With no time to sink into a doorstopper, these concentrated doses of genre goodness will hit the spot.
And Kirkus reviews Kirtley employs sharp, concise prose that complements his puckish sense of humor.
The author's passionate voice breathes life into this wonderful array of tales.
So again, the book is called save me please and other stories, and it's available now on Amazon.com.
