Temporary Tales

TEMPORARY TALES L.. A. Gordon writes seven tales about the lives of people caught up in the briefness of life, entangled in all the dimensions and agonies limited time offers. Temporary Tales are studies in temporary insanity (sex change), employment (pyromania), temporary filling, (demonic possession), the temporary permanent hairdo (birth of an archangel), the temporary or fleeting smile (a bullet hole in the chest), the temporary stay (Siren seduction), and a temporary impression (perfect love). The writing is human, witty, and wonderfully edgy. The short story is the most demanding of all writing genera. Here, L.A. Gordon is at his best.

TEMPORARY TALES L.. A. Gordon writes seven tales about the lives of people caught up in the briefness of life, entangled in all the dimensions and agonies limited time offers. Temporary Tales are studies in temporary insanity (sex change), employment (pyromania), temporary filling, (demonic possession), the temporary permanent hairdo (birth of an archangel), the temporary or fleeting smile (a bullet hole in the chest), the temporary stay (Siren seduction), and a temporary impression (perfect love). The writing is human, witty, and wonderfully edgy. The short story is the most demanding of all writing genera. Here, L.A. Gordon is at his best. Story lines reach into the ancient past and venture into the future. The short story collection is tastefully varied, comfortably without bias, politics, and harsh language. The collection has you running into people who do not have time on their side. They may be transformed by an earth quake, go to the wrong dentist, or find themselves already dead for all intents and purposes. The word 'temporary' itself is examined, as a noble word that is misunderstood and often abused. Temporary Tales is a good way to become familiar with the author, L.A. Gordon. This way you can walk a few, measured paragraphs with him without worrying about finding your way back.

BIO: L. A. Gordon “There are places a writer can take you, where you, alone, cannot go. Once you have journeyed there, you are free to experience the beauty and darkness of your newly discovered destination. Having read the book, however, you are faced with the realization that there is no way back. Knowledge is like that.” - L. A. Gordon ~ Dr. Lansing Alexander Gordon, DBA is a career Marketer, National Fundraiser, and a University Professor in both the US and Asia. He has raised millions of dollars for health care facilities in the US. He has been a Producer for NBC, a racetrack horse groom, and a bartender, not necessarily in that order. He was a featured speaker at the prestigious Jonathan Club in Burbank, CA, and received the American Legion Award for Oratory. As a university professor, he authored a textbook entitled 'Cybercentrism, and the New Cybergens', getting much of his futuristic, IT business concepts from his work as a Research Analyst for a national research firm in Silicon Valley. Dr. Gordon's fictional work is for general audiences, is nonpolitical, and contains no abusive language. Gordon served as an emergency room medical technician (EMT) in city hospitals for four full years before entering college. Gordon’s writing style is adventurous, entertaining, and addictive. His stories, like the cover art he paints for his books, enliven the debate as to where the edges of reality and fantasy should be set. The books contain historical, even gothic notes, and are often technologically edgy. Six eBooks average 60 to 150 pages each, and are entitled ‘Franklin’s Fall’, ‘McCory’s Chase’, ‘The Holcyons’, ‘RIP Runners’, and ‘Temporary Tales’. The sixth is three-part saga entitled ‘Forever’s Gate’. The first episode, of 150 pages, is offered ‘free’ to all readers.
