DEBORAH BOSTOCK-KELLEY RELEASES NEW BOOK OF SHORT STORIES EXPLORING RELATIONSHIPS
A collection of five short stories visit the every-day drama and trauma of teenage and adulthood
June 9, 2009 ... Local multi-tasking Tampa graphic designer, gifted school Computer Design teacher and writer, Deborah Bostock-Kelley reveals in her new book why you should pay attention to what is it front of you. The book, Damaged Goods: Narratives Unendings from Inside My Heart and Mind, is a collection of seemingly unrelated short stories targeting an older teen and young adult audience, but look a little closer and a common thread emerges.
Says Bostock-Kelley, “I know Unendings is not an actual word but it fits the theme of my writing. I've never liked organized happily-ever-after and these stories, excluding one, are definitely not tidy endings. I wanted to give a voice to that kid that sat alone on the bus, to the harried mom watching her life pass her by, to the wife that wonders where her husband goes at night. Truly, it's about relationships; how you communicate with one another and not value what you have when you have it. It doesn't matter if you're fifteen or fifty, everybody has or will have a Ëœwhat if' moment in their lifetime. What if I had only told him/her how I really felt? What if I stood up for myself? What if I had kept my mouth shut? What if? The possibilities are endless. ”
Damaged Goods: Narratives Unendings from Inside My Heart and Mind lets us peek briefly into the lives of young women through transitional periods in their lives: high school, college, first love and last love, marriage, family, empty-nest and death.
Fan and college student Rachel Wheeler summed up the appeal of Damaged Goods, “Deborah truly captures my emotions through all her stories. I was captivated from the moment I started reading until the moment I had to force myself to put the book down for the night¦ Her stories are heart-felt and her characters are endearing and believable... definitely a challenging combination for a short story writer.”
Damaged Goods: Narrative Unendings from Inside My Heart and Mind is available on Amazon, CreateSpace, weRead, and Target.com.
