Fools All of Us:
stories of the white city

My first book, Fools All of Us: stories of the white city, came out in 2000, back when BookSurge.com was run out of a print shop on Wentworth Street, years before an Amazon buyout and the principals could set their window units to HI COOL for the rest of their lives.

It offers a broader picture of Charleston than Bandit, albeit a drunker, younger, snider one. But at least there's not so much with the running.

"It was a few weeks later, when the yellow jasmine was gone and the white jasmine was out, the one that's so saccharine-sweet smelling that it doesn't fool anyone who's lived here for a while, that I saw them again.

Oh, who am I kidding? It fools all of us into thinking love is in the air. That's all we want, to think it's in the air and takes not even the thought of an effort on our part. That it will take us and not ravage us, not demand a damn thing of us."     --- from "Breathe"
