Mary Johnson gathers together fictionalized runaway and vagabond stories in new book
'Strange Ruins' shares a collection of tales from varied, colorful perspectives
ATLANTA, Feb. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mary Johnson's collection of short stories titled "Strange Ruins: Volume I" (published by Archway Publishing) leads readers down an imaginative path that explores the ecstasy and the agony of life examined from an intimate panorama.
In the volume, two aliens meet and learn from one another before walking way with a new perspective on loneliness. Another piece features a man finds love he didn't imagine finding in speed dating. While on a trip, another man makes a decision to take control of his destiny. In a final story, one woman continues in her refusal to be responsible for another person's happiness by ending a love affair.
Hoping that "Strange Ruins" will speak to a versatile cache of readers because of the diversified collage of tales, Johnson says that "A life of curiosity, people-watching, and colorful interactions" helped her write the collection.
