Meltdown

by Sue Binder

Overview

What is the thin line that separates fantasy from reality? What marks the boundary between good and evil? The characters in this short story compilation Meltdown, all face crucial decisions, crossroads which will impact their destiny and the lives of those about them. Each of the 22 short stories stands on its own, with characters who are searching for meaning in their lives, agonizing over past decisions, or are experiencing a critical loss. Some struggle with their inadequacies. Some are teetering on the edge of insanity. Others are on a journey of self-destruction. The book also contains two poems, preludes to the stories which follows. The title aptly describes the book, as each character is in a stage of Meltdown. Some may survive. Others may not.

About the Author

I have written most of my life. While still a pre-schooler, I once got in trouble for scribbling in the back of a book. I continued writing throughout school, working on high school and college newspapers, and eventually getting a BA in journalism and creative writing. I have worked as a newspaper writer and editor, as well as a variety of other jobs, such as a substitute teacher, college instructor, and even an Avon saleslady. Currently I hold two master degrees and am a Licensed Professional Counseler and Licensed Addictions Counselor, and have worked in a private prison. Currently I work for a community health clinic as a Behavioral Health Therapist. I love to read, favorites being Tony Hillerman, Henning Mankill and Patrick Taylor, as well as Steve Barry. I love music, current favorites being Celtic Thunder and Josh Groban. My pride and joy are my four children and five grandchildren. I reside in Southeast Colorado, where I continue to write. My current burning desire is a trip to Ireland. Special thank you to my sister, Sandy, for encouraging me to follow her path to Smashwords.
