Bleeding Hearts
Summary
Ray Stryker is a Gulf War veteran, ex-cop turned private investigator, and a recovering alcoholic with a volatile temper and a short fuse. Jayne Morris is a painter and aspiring writer, ritually abused as a child, who harbors some inner demons of her own. Her life is also empty until she meets Ray, and for now, these two damaged people seem to complete each other. Apart, they are just two more damaged people on the long hard road to oblivion. Together, they are so much more. The feelings they had to endure - anger, abandonment, denial, disbelief, social withdrawal, and guilt - no longer made them feel powerless over their own destiny. Enter Romeo; a suave, charming serial killer - who has his eyes set on Jayne. Can Ray stop him in time from claiming Jayne as his next victim?

Miniatures
Summary
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway bet his fellow writers at the Algonquin Round Table that he could write a complete short story in six words. The other writers ponied up 10 bucks each, and Papa claimed the pot with possibly the saddest six words ever written: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn." In this collection, Mario Milosevic offers 41 of his own very short stories. By turns funny, fantastic, witty, fabulous, and poignant, none are as brief as six words, but they all pack a punch and are guaranteed to intrigue, amuse, and move. Mario Milosevic's short fiction has appeared in magazines, anthologies, and on websites for almost 30 years. His novels include Claypot Dreamstance, The Coma Monologues, and Kyle's War. He has also published three collections of poetry: Animal Life, Love Life, and Fantasy Life. Miniatures is his first collection of fiction. Learn more at mariowrites.com.

Nunzio's Fix
Summary
Enzo Mannoti wants Max Yuma dead. What he did to the business alone earned him a death warrant; then he got personal. Enzo would kill him twice if he could. But the question is: How? The last two people Enzo sent to kill Yuma ended up dead themselves. Now Yuma has dropped out of sight for a year, adding to the problem. Therefore, the average hit man won't do. Enzo will need someone very special to fix this problem, someone who knows how Yuma thinks; someone who can flush him out, track him down and kill him without exposing a connection to the family. Nunzio Nasuti is just the man. His military background and his career with the Mannoti family have uniquely prepared him for the job. But Nunzio is retired and refuses to take on the challenge. When the family loyalty card doesn't convince Nunzio to do it, Enzo squeezes harder. He knows a secret that Nunzio has been guarding with his life. Nunzio finally gives in to an offer that he dare not refuse.

The combination of grief and the lack of empathy from his adult children have him ready to quit life, also. On the day he reaches the breaking point his friend Horace pays an unexpected visit with his new girlfriend. Horace's remedy for Abraham's plight is to party hard, act juvenile, and take a road trip to confront the doctor in charge of the work from home scam. But will an insufferable friend, a bad case of misanthropy, and the absurdity of modern technology and its sociocultural impact make Abraham's situation better?
