Short Stories & Tall Tales, Books by Red Tash

In Troll Or Derby, fifteen-year-old Roller Deb is singled out by town bullies for both her skates, and for being different. When her popular homecoming queen of a sister is kidnapped by a scuzzy drug dealer, Deb must flee the trailer park in which she’s grown up, and rescue her. Along the way, Deb becomes enmeshed in the magical realm of trolls and fairies, and the blood-thirsty version of roller derby at which these beings excel. But spending too much time among the fairies comes with a price. Will Deb choose to save her sister, with the aid of a mysterious troll? Or will she be lost to the lures of roller derby, and the blonde temptress April, forever?

“The way the author weaves fantasy, humor, science fiction, and mystery is, for lack of a better word, brilliant. I read the entire thing with admiration/envy, taking notes and thinking ‘THIS is how you write a novel.’ Remember when Scream blew the horror world away by actually using technology in a realistic way? Well here’s blogging and online forums and long distance cyber friendships, honestly depicting the way we live in the 21st century.” ~Poet Christina Grey This Brilliant Darkness awaits you on Amazon, iBooks, and at Smashwords. Now on B&N and Sony, and coming soon to other venues to be announced. Paperback info here.

You asked for more Wizard, and you got it. The mysterious Wizard is back, and this time he’s brought his demons—literally. What’s this about a nemesis, and a gambling addiction? Can’t an old man just grab a cone of Ben & Jerry’s without Chinatown’s zombies getting in the way? You don’t have to be an LGBTQutie-patootie to shake your booty in The Wizard Takes a Fitness Class, but as the Wizard learns, sometimes the best way to exorcise one’s demons is to exercise with them. Just ask anyone who’s already read the latest wizarding tale—or better yet, read it, yourself. Amazon & Barnes&Noble, Smashwords, and now on Kobo, Nook & iTunes.
