Stranded

Stories from the Edge of Infinity
 

by Kimberly Raiser
 

From the Cover
The short story is hard enough to write.  Even more difficult is the short short story.  Raiser is a master of both types as evidenced in Stranded.  There are generous doses of tales of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror.   Her writings have appeared all over the Internet.  This is the first time they have appeared together in one collection.  Some of the pieces are dark and sinister while others are very funny.  Many of them are in the realm of The Twilight Zone.~ Midwest Book Review

About the Author
 Kimberly Raiser has been writing poetry for years.  But it wasn't until she turned thirty that she actually attempted to get published.  Recognizing how difficult it would be to earn a living as a published poet, she decided to do what all great poets have done throughout history--live a life of endless despair. 

 

Fortunately, fate intervened in the form of a wonderful man who made her "joyously happy," and, lo and behold, out of one desperate woman popped an exuberant fiction writer.  Today, Kimberly's poetry resides in the dusty pages of her past.


 Born and raised in New Jersey, Kimberly has long held a special place in her heart and her mind for Science Fiction and Adventure--not only the made-up kind, but also the real thing.  From firefighting and chasing down shoplifters to uprooting herself and moving to center city Philadelphia just for the experience, if it seemed incongruous and strangely unnerving, she wanted to do it!

Following several attempts at penning the Great American Novel, Kimberly settled on writing short stories.  After two years of gathering enough published material for a collection of warped and witty thoughts, she pieced together a remarkably creative anthology entitled Stranded: Stories from the Edge of Infinity.  It's a collection of the author's published short tales from around the globe.

From where did this writer's quest for adventure spring?  Kimberly attributes it to the influence of her grandfather, Henry Kunicki (Google it!), who grew up with famed physicist David Bohm, who in turn had once worked with a man named Albert Einstein.  Kunicki and Bohm used to fantasize about space travel together, weaving a strong element of Sci-Fi throughout the family.

 

Not surprisingly, the next book Kimberly will produce is a combination of the best of both worlds, a Sci-Fi Thriller entitled The Family Bones, the author's first full-length novel.  It is due to be released in October 2008.

 

Her writing has been compared to the likes of Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, and Monty Python, with a few Twilight Zone twists thrown in for good fortune.

 

Not at all bad company to keep--for a New Jersey/Central Philly girl who wound up setting roots among the palm trees on Florida's east coast.
