A man walks into a bar and sits down next to a stranger. They begin to talk. It's a common occurrence. It happens every day. Except there is nothing common about either of these two men. Curiosity rules one man's behavior. The other has a talent for finding himself entangled in other people's problems. In the end, it will require professional cleaners to remove the bloodstains from the floor. Bar Talk harkens back to the film noir era, but takes place in modern times. Sprinkled in is a psychological twist that challenges the borderline between right and wrong.
The initial short story, Bar Talk, in this series of interrelated short stories came to me over a series of attempts to go back to sleep after waking up at four in the morning. The characters would not let me be. I had to write the story down just to get it out of my head. These characters were not done with me yet, oh no. Over the next twelve months one or more would wake me up with a new story idea. I shared these stories with a few friends. All insisted I should publish them. The characters have been quiet for a while now, so it seemed like a good time to assemble this group into an anthology.
I hope you enjoy. If you like these stories, don't worry. The characters will be back - of this, I am sure.
