Mashed Potatoes and…Bullets? What's the World Coming To?
James Thomas, a young, shy, and dedicated employee at Justified Executive Services, has encountered a problem. His heart has fallen for one of his best friends. However, as social tensions rise, he is forced to do the unthinkable.
Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2007 -- James Thomas, a young, shy, and dedicated employee at Justified Executive Services, has encountered a problem. His heart has fallen for one of his best friends. However, as social tensions rise, he is forced to do the unthinkable.
Outskirts Press is pleased to announce the publication of His Failed Mistakes by author Vincent Grigsby. Based loosely on Vincent's own high school days, it is the story of one James Thomas, a young man on the brink of adulthood, who encounters numerous social letdowns as he seeks to find his place in the world. It's a journey that will lead him--and the reader--to a startling epiphany and a heart-stopping conclusion.
Grigsby writes with a raw intensity that readers will find both shocking and strangely familiar. While he is terrific at setting the scene, and a whiz at writing convincing dialogue, it is his characters' introspective moments that are the most enlightening:
I couldn't believe that I actually took somebody's life. And that somebody just happened to be one of my "best friends." Well, actually, I don't even feel bad about killing her. She was just one of those people that had to die for the greater good…
His Failed Mistakes is a terrific debut novel from a promising new talent.
ISBN: 978-1-4327-1546-5
