When your First Facebook Friend is a Skunk, it’s Important to be Stinky



Just when you think you know everything about Stinky and Eddie, they go and join an elite organization of literary partners and learn to ramble in and out of other characters’ tales. When someone stores multiple books on one electronic device, the characters are free to visit each other, as long as no one is reading their story. Be honest: when did you last pick up Moby-Dick? Do you think Ishmael and the rest of the crew chase after a silly whale when no one is looking? Whales aren’t fish, but there is a lot of fishy business going on in your Kindle, even as you read this. Our boys face their nastiest adventure trying to get into the club, but they don’t have time to dwell on painful memories once characters from world fiction shimmer into and out of their lives. Eddie wishes he’d paid more attention in high school English whenever oddly garbed people appear at the door.

Stinky’s colorful granny appears in two stories. She returns to town with a faded, B-movie star who wants Stinky to fake her death for publicity. It’s not as easy as it sounds to come back from the dead, but Stinky is a fan from seeing her films on late night TV and does his best to bring her fame back from the dead.

Granny is known for making an ancient secret Stinky’s problem, and in a second adventure she fills a chalice to the brim with trouble and hands it to Stinky. He’s mentioned her smuggling career from time to time; now we learn how she got into the profession.

TV reporter Peyton Mayer is famous for his on-air gaffes, but his trouble with the English language is nothing compared to his lack of judgment. Peyton invites himself for a weekend at the shore and the family finds him less fun in person than on TV. In another tale we share his interest in local history when he uncovers a buried treasure.

Stinky’s most prominent client enjoys the colorful way he spins a tale and convinces him to write a play. The characters are thinly disguised versions of his near and dear, and it looks like he has a choice of going to opening night alone or cancelling the production. Will the curtain go up or is it curtains for Stinky’s play?

Stinky is used to getting things back on course when his mother picks up a false scent, so it’s a change when his father is the one with a leaky theory. Could his mother really be joining an order of couture nuns for the employee discount? Stinky did some legal work for the Sisters of Disparity, so maybe he can find out what’s going on.

This final collection of Stinky Stories proves that there is always something new to learn about the best looking man on the planet, and we’re grateful to Eddie for sticking with him. Eddie has gone through thousands of salt packets in order to swallow Stinky’s stories, but even though he’s tough to swallow, Stinky is never dull.

About Stinky Stories

Stinky and Eddie appear in almost eighty comic short stories in the #1 bestselling Amazon series. Stinky is chatty and insouciant, and while Eddie may not say as much, when something needs to be done, he’s already doing it. They’re as close as Brooklyn and Queens and as unlikely to separate.

Stinky doesn’t go looking for trouble, but he can’t hide from it. Stinky and Eddie are supported by a collection of outrageous guest stars and an ever expanding cast of relatives. The stories are witty and literate and readers don’t have to leave their brains in a jar to enjoy them. Whether it’s a flat-out farce, bedroom comedy, sexy romp, sly satire or screwball family intrigue, you’re never far from a happy ending in every Stinky story. Isn’t that what we really need these days?

Peter's first published book, "The Chapel of Trinity College" tells the story of how an extraordinary group of men built a masterful Gothic Revival building in the depths of the Great Depression. Peter revised and updated the book for the Chapel's 75th anniversary. His popular Stinky Stories tell the fictional life of the best looking man on the planet. Reviewers have compared his writings to P.G. Wodehouse ("A barrel-ride of rip-roaring fun reminiscent of P. G. Wodehouse novels") and even Shakespeare ("Best dick poem since Sonnet 135"). Writers take what they can get, when it comes to reviews. As a notary public Peter is accustomed to charging ten dollars for his signature and was surprised to learn that authors give them away for free. "No wonder so many of us are starving," he said in a recent interview.
