SACRAMENTO, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2013
Like every other aspiring author, Tim Hartwriting short fiction where people matter as E. G. Fabricantwants his first short-story collection, Matters Familiar, to sell. When it does, he also wants to pay it forward.
My stories are about real people, with real hopes and needs, confronting real challenges, Hart/Fabricant said. I believe the best stories that need to be told are in progress, all around us. If I had to label it, Id call Matters Familiar a time capsule for the first decade of the 21st century. Its stories are narratives driven by complex, entertaining characters, up against one thing and another, and told mostly out of their own mouths. A few examples:
Ashley Alert. Youre six years old. Your mother never lets you out of her sight, schedules every waking moment, and wont let you read what you likeeven if its okay with Daddy. What do you do? Ashley Butterworth knows.
The Jewel of Genoa. Youre 83, a retired Nevada cowgirl, and a shut-in, since your beloved Earl died 15 years ago. Your best friend and fellow inmate at the home, Hattie, has taken a turn for the worse. Nothing in your life makes sense anymore. Where to turn? Pearl O. Mutter and her co-conspirators head east.
Robbin Hood. Youre not the sharpest knife in the drawer, not a made guy, and the Trenton brugad aint doin so good. Your sis is a widow, your nephew Richey needs a lotta medical work, and the new Don is a real gavone. Youve got one redeeming skill: a head for numbers. Can you use it to make a difference? Pettirosso Petey DiCappello goes to work.
Hart/Fabricant also wants to put Matters Familiar to work for a deserving Sacramento family. As a former member of their Board of Directors and a volunteer, I believe in Sacramento Habitat for Humanity, he said. Simply put, Sac-Habitat improves our community, one family in need at a time, by partnering with them to earn a new life in a modest but state-of-the-art home. Its a total village enterprise.
Heres my pledge, he said. For every copy of Matters Familiardigital or paperbacksold, Ill donate $ 1 to Sacramento Habitat for Humanity. My goal is to raise $ 75,000 to sponsor a family in 2013.
Hart describes himself as a recovering lobbyist, trying to reinvent myself (at 64) as the worlds oldest, best new fiction writer. Why the nom de plume? My literary hero, Sam Clemens, had one: Mark Twain, Hart said, so, of course, I had to have one, too. The names derivation? Its a play on words, which I love to do. Think about it; youll figure it out.
