Shayna 2-001

Come help us celebrate–all you whack-job girls and short-fuse dudes–the release of The Whack-Job Girls, a collection of flash fiction, very short stories, at a party given by Judy Reeves and Shayna Roberts for Bonnie ZoBell. This chapbook is now available as an e-book or in print at Monkey Puzzle Press and at Amazon.

The Whack-Job Girls portrays a posse of women who either don’t fit in or are deeply disconnected from society. The title story is set in a whacky beauty shop, not unlike The House of Imago where the party is being held! The singer with those luscious red lips in the book trailer on your upper right is a rockin’ Shayna Roberts herself, a younger version of Kitty in the story, singing “Love Is Like Bad Noodles.”

Dark humor creeps through these quirky tales as one character thinks she sees the Virgin Mary on her living room wall, another losing her eyesight refuses to the end to quit her rock’n’roll parade, still another must clean mysteriously revolting mishaps as a hotel maid working graveyard.

Document this whacky night with lots of your best photos and videos and win Best Picture, which earns you a free haircut of the male or female persuasion. Use #thewhackjobgirls on Twitter or Instagram, or post on my Facebook wall to win.
