Works for sale by L. Stewart Marsden

Until recently, I could only think about constructing this particular page. I had only one published book, Through the Glass Darkly, a collection of short stories.

Now, happily, I can add to that Stinky and the Night Mare, a children’s book.

Both are available on Amazon (linked below).

 

Ray Ferrer’s cover illustration for Through the Glass Darkly

Through the Glass Darkly is for mature readers, and does contain some language as well as violence. So parents, be forewarned. Fifteen short stories of the eerie ilk — with some satire thrown in for fun.

Some stories are illustrated by Ray Ferrer, urbanwallart.com, and help to capture the tone of the tale.

I am in the process of editing, rewriting, adding and subtracting stories for the 2nd edition, which I hope to upload for sale in the spring of 2015.

Stories include:

Mrs. Foy’s Koi — a young boy becomes interested in the large fish in a neighbor’s pond. He is unprepared for what happens with one particular Koi, which he names Captain Blood.

The Technicolor Dreamer  — We dream both in color and black and white. What if those in color were not dreams at all?

Dead Wood — The men of a small western town come upon a solution to the problem of vagrants and ne’er-do-wells.

Harvey Meeks and the Crawl Space — Harvey Meeks must have his cable TV. Something keeps slicing through the cable wire and interrupting the reception, and it’s living in the crawl space of his house.

You can purchase a paperback copy of Through the Glass Darkly by going to Amazon and ordering, or you can also download a Kindle version. If you do, leave a review once you’ve read it: good, bad or ugly.

If you would prefer to own a signed copy, contact me at skipmars at gmail dot com, and I’ll give you the particulars.

“Stinky and the Night Mare,” by L. Stewart Marsden

 

The genesis of Stinky and the Night Mare was bedtime storytelling to get my daughters, Livia and Lily, to go to sleep.

It is written for ages 3 to 5, and is the repetitive narration of how Stinky calls to the Night Mare to come to her room.

The book is delightfully illustrated by a young up-and-coming illustrator, Jessie Lou. I think your children, grandchildren, and great-greats will enjoy an animated reading of Stinky.

My intent is to add more Stinky stories in the future.

Again, you can purchase Stinky and the Night Mare on Amazon. It is not available in a Kindle version at this time.

Should you prefer a signed copy, contact me at skipmars at gmail dot com, and I will give you the particulars.

Again, reviews on Amazon for Stinky are appreciated!
