Manhattan Street Plus 9 Al W King

Manhattan Street -- Guns, drugs, violence, and death. Plus 9 -- Fantasy, history, hope, and inspiration. Introducing 10 new short stories from author Al KingFrom the author about his new collection: "Manhattan is a true story with a little fiction. I didn't know what was going on in the bedroom but nearly all of us have some experience. Knowing the characters, I think I got it right. In the case of Bill, he spelled it out and I listened and laughed. It was always a pleasure being around Bill - a simple man, a straight shooter, and a great guy you could trust with anything except your wife. He lived for sex and true to his character, he got much more than his share, even after contracting prostate cancer. The Apartment is also a true story. The rest of the stories are fiction. Through reading, research, experience, and my scattered imagination, the stories were written to provoke thought and be fun to read. In most cases, the main character is duped in the end. I've met so many people in the past that looked for quick money and ended up with nothing. Some of this is written in my work, along with a little fantasy, historical fiction, and humor."
