This month, I chat with The Storyside’s own Rob Smales about murder for yogurt, the lighter side of necrophilia, and the horribly hilarious collection of short stories he’s helped craft into a brand new release for Books and Boos Press: A Sharp Stick in the Eye and Other Funny Stories.

Hi, Michelle! Thanks for taking a moment to comment. I’m so proud of James for publishing. He used to tell me about his family history and I remember when he became so enamored with tracking down his roots, venturing down to Florida to meet long-lost family members, and to unearth the roots of his family tree. It was so interesting, and his eyes would light up whenever we talked about it. I always used to tell him that he should put it in a book. And now, here we are! I can’t wait to get my copy.
Oh, and let me know what you like to read. I’d be happy to send you a book. 🙂
