About this eBook

 When Frederick Bolling encounters a garishly-dressed fast-talking weirdo in a parking garage, it's pretty routine -- just another day in New York City. But when he returns, he discovers that his car has been stolen and replaced with an exact replica -- and then things get WEIRD.

Bit of a stretch calling this a book! It's a mildly interesting, very short story. I can't understand why the author didn't group all the stories together & publish them like that. Curious.

No flowery adjectives, no embellishments, just a story that gets to the point . One of my favorites in the last year.

About the author

 S.A. Barton lives in coastal Virginia with his wife, teen stepson, two under-5s, and demanding cat (as they all are). His path to the present was a strange, sometimes harrowing, and winding one; you may find this reflected in his writing. 


He has appeared in the pages of Penumbra magazine, in Daily Science Fiction, and in OMNI Reboot. He's a winner of the first Amazing Stories Gernsback Writing Contest. 

He is also proud to be a self-published indie author with dozens of short ebooks and collections to his credit, which may be found through sabarton.com, and he tweets far too much as @Tao23.

While most of S.A. Barton's work is in science fiction, some of it strays into other genres such as fantasy, mainstream, alternate history and others -- like the cat, it wanders some.
