Biographie:
The author wishes to share with all interested parties the tall tales of one Solomon Grant as he corresponds with us from various places upon the Earth and outside its bounds. Whether saving a loved one from con artists posing as God, or serving on behalf of a fallen lady by playing Chess with the Devil, the author feels you could do worst than attending to the chronicles of this man. A denizen of Detroit, he takes up residence at the garbage dump and shares his strange adventures with all comers.
This is the latest offering from the author of 'ALPHONSO GENTLE' and 'TALES TIMES TEN'. We have here a duet of three-act plays about an old writer in Detroit. He will present to you characters of all stripes jumping feet first into every kind of devilment and taking charge in solving problems peculiar to both Heaven and Hell.
Here is your ticket to adventure. I heartily recommend you take it.
