“Set in the 1680’s, The Hyghcock Chronicles by E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird is a rollicking story of illicit trade and tax evasion in the newly formed colonies of New York. …Birds, boats, Swedes, Dutch, Finns, English, Native Indians, and the African, Kwami, a hurricane, all deliver an enthralling story of adventure… The characters of this story are strong and individual and the authors E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird deliver a sense of reality from early settlement days. The Hyghcock Chronicles - Published by Whiskey Creek Press - is well worth the read!”

Treat yourself to our duet of short stories with Whiskey Shots #15! When the Anabaptist farmer Mose Hooley falls through the floor of an abandoned barn, he finds himself face to face with Nebuchadnezzar II in the short story, The Amish Time Traveler. The Babylonians are dazzled by the advanced technology possessed by Mose, whom they come to worship as a God of Science, while the Amish-man searches for a way back home. In Oedipus Tex: Beyond the Pale, the porn-star protagonist passes through the veil between this world and the next—the result of an accident while filming a scene on the back of a mechanical bull. While in transition, Tex is forced to compete on the metaphysical game show, Bowling for Karma, to determine his fate in the afterlife. |
