Claremont, CA – October 21, 2019 – Pelekinesis is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Across the Street From the Ordinary, new fiction from Don Skiles, available January 20, 2020 worldwide.

Across The Street From The Ordinary is a collection of new short fiction,  following the work in two previous collections, Miss America and Other Stories (Marion Boyars), and Rain After Midnight (Pelekinesis).  These stories share innovative, different perspectives on narration, and the story-teller.  There is a wide, rich variety here - stories centered in the uniqueness of both urban and small town landscapes and characters - stories of setting out, travel, origins, legends. Discoveries.
And something borrowed from the haiku tradition, stories of the moment, the instant - the flash of recognition.

Across the Street From the Ordinary by Don Skiles will be available through Baker & Taylor, Bertrams, directly from the publisher's website, and in fine local bookstores worldwide.
