Bonneville Stories by Mark Doyon (WM-061)

In Bonneville, good people lose limbs, fight lightning, and slip into sinkholes. They pitch over bicycles, tumble off ladders, and expire without warning. They spin the wheel and take their chances. It's all in a day's work.

Some blame God, others blame kismet, and still others rail against random happenstance.

All told, maybe there are no accidents.

With Bonneville Stories, Mark Doyon serves up ten playfully compelling tales of fate and the freedom to choose.
