How the Planet Lost Its Tail

Paperback
(One Mouse Press, Jan. 31, 2018)
On a tiny planet at war, there appears no remedy beyond the destruction of nations and the devastation of nature itself. Trapped in a corner of this world known only to folk songs and fairy tales, one creature has seen another way out. Dark knowledge, however, is disseminating and a barrel of explosives detonates within the bowels of the superpower’s bustling capital city. Is this the death knell sounding for a blighted little planet? A hobbled stranger in flip-flops and a fedora pulls from his sleeve a gnarled ray of hope and takes aim at the fragile gloom of an age. Most of the events, situations, and dreams presented in this work of fiction are drawn from actual events, situations, and dreams. Everything else…is just a story. ~J.D.M.
