PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Michael A. Stang has written over forty plays, many of which have been produced in the U.S. and Australia. His love of the short story began in grade school and was rekindled during Covid, when this collection was written. Dr. Stang is a retired emergency physician who came to Baltimore for his residency and remained. Besides writing, he enjoys travel, biking, fly-fishing and woodworking. He lives in Baltimore with his wife.
"""Michael Stang's magic-carpet stories fly us beyond the bounds of the real, into a world similar to this one but more magical, more coherent, and much kinder. Take the trip. A visit will do you good."" -William deBuys, Pulitzer finalist and author of The Trail to Kanjiroba ""Although his sensibility is contemporary, Stang manages, with a genial, compassionate heart and a fine sense of detail, to resuscitate a nearly forgotten genre-the tall tale, as practiced by Poe, Twain, and John Collier... It's a dazzling debut.""-James Magruder, author of Vamp Until Ready and Outer Critics Circle Nominee, Head Over Heels"
