    About this ebook

    Death By Clogging
    This is a collection of Southern alcoholic first ladies, criminal mothers, self-destructive cloggers, disgruntled nuns, self-absorbed businessmen, cross-dressing Vietnam veterans, militant breast feeders, jealous husbands, insomniacs....basically the people we meet in our everyday lives just with a bit of exaggeration Southern-style. The protagonists of this collection of stories are – an alcoholic mayor’s wife exhausted from the phoniness of living in the public eye in small-town America; a mother who makes a difficult and criminal decision to keep her son out of foster care; a young boy sent to live with relatives—one of them a cross-dressing war hero; a blind girl with her eyes set on a dream wedding fit for a princess; a man with an extreme case of insomnia and jealousy; a nun and a business man who makes the mistake of “going Dutch treat”; a self-destructive clogger who learns the dangers of living out the dreams of others; and a soldier burdened by his cowardice.
