Publisher's Summary

Fourteen short stories with a twist, Duck for Cover & Other Tales is filled with surprises.

"The Yes Man" is about a woman who looks after her elderly father with dementia, only to discover he still has life lessons to teach her. "Living My Best Life" tells the story of an aging rock star who finds his legacy lives on in a way he hadn't imagined. "Thicker Than Blood" is about the dilemmas caused by modern technology when a trio of siblings is asked to make the hardest decision of their lives. "The Devil's Workshop" is the story of a young man being scared straight from a life of delinquency by a clever probation officer and an ex-con.

Topical, relatable, and just plain fun, these and many other stories in this collection deal with friendship, kinship, and the complexities of the modern world, and are sure to leave you with a smile.
