Roast:A Short Story

With a satirical spin on the twisted fairytale genre, Roast offers a glance into the lives of three very different people attempting to resolve the carnal and carnivorous desires of life. Michael Mason has just made detective and is working on his first big case; Sarah Clarke is “super-dee-duper” excited about her new job as a fairytale princess; and Pippin Parsons is just looking for somewhere to fit in, a place where size truly doesn't matter. Their lives continue to spiral closer and closer toward one another’s as the heat from the mid-Florida summer shows them all what it truly means to roast.

Roast also features three additional short(er) stories: “Bullet” explores what happens when a traveling circles decides to settle down in a one-light Georgia town. “Still” considers the constant flurry of motion within the myopic pursuit of love. “Abbaiare Alla Luna in Dm for Flute” discovers the power of a pied piper’s flute.
