Author Description

Merriam Webster defines off-kilter as, "not in perfect balance: a bit askew; different from the ordinary, usual, or expected; eccentric, unconventional." Associated synonyms include bizarre, curious, and outlandish. Our anthology fits this title. Herein is a collection of short stories crafted by writers of all walks of life. Within these pages there are stories that will make you laugh and cry, pull your heart strings and perhaps make your skin crawl. Whether it is the story of a man who moves his family to Hell or a child whose family treats an illness with the unimaginable, all of the stories are a bit, well, off. This is the first of hopefully many anthologies which highlights the work of both accomplished writers and beginnersalike. We invite you to get lost in our dysfunctional, yet entertaining collection and examine the places and people in your own lifethat are Off-Kilter.
