Signed Confessions Guilt and a desperate need to repent drive the antiheroes in Tom Walker’s dark (and often darkly funny) stories: • A gullible journalist falls for the 40-year-old stripper he profiles in a magazine. • A faithless husband abandons his family and joins a support group for lost souls. • A merciless prosecuting attorney grapples with the suicide of his gay son. • An aging misanthrope must make amends to five former victims. • An egoistic naval hero is haunted by apparitions of his dead wife and a mysterious little girl. The seven tales in Signed Confessions measure how far guilty men will go to obtain a forgiveness no one can grant but themselves.
Praise for Signed Confessions Tom Walker's Signed Confessions is a collection of witty, sardonic, and tantalizingly dark stories that carry weighty matters -- guilt, frustration, anger, manliness, confusion and confession, love, lust, lap dancers -- all in a manner startlingly original and consistently entertaining. Walker is a gutsy and intriguing writer. - Peggy Payne, author of Sister India, Revelation, and Cobalt Blue
