UFOs and God is not single-themed but a medley of characters kayaking their way through the erratic channels of life. Some of these stories are sharp-edged and made to cut you emotionally to the quick. Others are inviting, like a warm cozy room on a bitterly cold day. A couple-it is hoped-will make you laugh.
In Wake Up, a man decides each morning whether he is to live or die, while The Virgin Bank Robber is an unorthodox love story about a modern Robin Hood couple who are captured by the law. UFOs and God is the story of a beloved believer in UFOs and aliens who maintains her beliefs right up until the end, while War, tells the story of two brave soldiers, one black and one white, who find themselves trapped in the same foxhole during World War II. Job Search explores a young person's search for more than a job but a meaningful career. The Zany World of Al, Nitro, Dynamite & Their Dog Blaze is a twisted parody of our obsession with violence and destruction as forms of entertainment. After being financially devastated by the 2008 economic crash, Mason Hammer makes a bold decision to live out a long-held dream in Echoes.
From farm to urban, from World War II to the Digital Age, the places and times, people and events in UFOs and God spotlight the tender underbelly of the human condition in all its glory and despair on these varying stages of fiction.
