For me stories are mysteries that can hold more than it is possible to articulate and yet we can feel it all. That is their magic. If you love the story you probably understand it better than you think. It's just difficult to put into words, right? It may also mean that you relate to the story somehow. Here is something to ponder: 'The Meeting' is a story in which the characters find that if they investigate their lives they can make discoveries that have the capacity to change everything... I hope that you continue to enjoy the wildness of your mind, John and if you can spare the time to add a review of the book to amazon that would be fantastic. My books are published independently so our readers' reviews are what help us spread the strangeness. Thanks for connecting and very best wishes to you!

Strange Wonders by Mike Russell
"i've been in a reading slump for like a month now, hopefully getting through a few shorter pieces will pull me out of it. once again a collection of strange stories that got my wheels turning, a one of a kind type of writing"
Strungballs by Mike Russell
"Okay, how to put my thoughts on Strungballs into words … This definitely was a strange read, but I loved it! The writing is very factual, so it’s easy to get through. Yet, on the other hand, reading it is really not that simple. I often found myself " Read more of this review »

“Nothing Is Strange”
Mike Russell, Nothing Is Strange

“Dunce is completely bald and has a really pointed head so the temptation to get him paralytic on his thirtieth birthday, carry him to the tattooist’s and get a nice big ‘D’ smack bang in the middle of his forehead was too much for me. Trouble is he can’t afford to have it removed so he wears a big plaster over it. Gangs of children tease him.

‘What’s underneath the plaster, mister? Show us!’

They swear he has a third eye under there.

My name is Bill but Dunce calls me ‘Fez’ on account of my hat. I’ve known Dunce for over sixteen years.”
Mike Russell, Nothing Is Strange

“Hello. It is Monday. I live in Sun City. Sun City is a city that is entirely contained inside an enormous concrete building in the shape of a sun. Its rays house our living quarters; its circular centre is where we work and shop. No one has ever been outside of the city; it is generally suspected that the environment outside of the city is uninhabitable.”
Mike Russell, Nothing Is Strange
