London Circle publishes author, G.L.Rockey's, "Bats in the Belfry, Bells in the Attic." The collection of sixteen short stories ranges in mood and point of view from first person, "Cora's Diary," a young girl's musing as she questions life's double standards; to "What If," a humorous look at the debate on evolution. "Ms. Collette" features a desert-rat's job interview and far-out views. "F in English" is about a young boy's first taste of sex as he discovers the important things in life. "Seance Chat@Livingdead," listens in on a chat-room conversation between the living and the dead. Zingers from Chekhov, Hemingway, Houdini, the famous and the not so famous; God and Lucifer even pop up on occasion. The short stories' showcase a host of eccentric characters in unusual situations, and range in length form 526 to 5126 words.

G.L.Rockey has two other works published by London Circle--THE JOURNALIST and TIME&CHANCE. "The Journalist" received a five star rating (engrossing, a classic) from Inscriptions' on-line magazine. Initial review puts "Time&Chance" in the company of Philip Marlowe. The Hinckley Record says Rockey's writing can, "Run with the big dogs." All his books are available from the London Circle book store: http://www.londoncircle.com
