The Magical Publishing Pen And Other Stories

The Magical Publishing Pen is published by Mary Celeste Press. The collected stories of M. Stefan Strozier vary widely in theme and yet the protagonist is always a male of a certain age. As arranged here, the stories represent a chronological arc of a man's life from boyhood to adulthood. Stylistically, the stories show an arc too, as a story about a young man was written when the author was a young man, and a story about an older man was written when the author was older, for example. Magical Realism, framed stories, humor, satire, action, different points-of-view, and crisp dialog pervade the stories. This collection is a portrait of an artist as a young to mid-aged man.
