SORRY, THIS BOOK IS PERMANENTLY SOLD OUT.
(RockSaw Press, 2009)  
A chapbook published by Jorge Evans, editor of RockSaw Press.   
This chapbook contains two short stories:  "Someone Like Me" and "Glimpses of Underthings."

Whom can a girl trust these days?  Not a best friend, not a non-friend, maybe a boy who likes her and if not this one, will the next one do?  GIRLS strikes a chord in the tune of lonely hearts:  as an eight year old comes to see just how similar she is to an outcast and flirts with the line past which she herself will be relegated to total obscurity; and a fourteen year old wears her father’s girlfriend’s panties while flirting with just about everything, perfecting the insouciant tease.  

The stories in this chapbook paint girlhood magenta and mauve.  Like a three-day old bruise, Elizabeth and Agnes will mark your skin and ache there for a very long time.
