KILLING TIME is about a thirty-five-year-old female preppy turned fifteen, a desert football hero turned FBI agent, a mob-connected chorine turned informant, a gang of shitkickers, a set of country clubbers, the Hopi Indians, and a twenty-year effort to make East meet West.

Six Short Sagas and One Long Story is a playful, irreverent, sometimes camp re-vision of seven of the more sexist of the eighteenth-century Grimm Brother's tales from the experience and perspective of a twentieth-century woman. It is not a children's book.
