What makes a hero?
Is a hero someone who puts on a mask and costume and rushes to the rescue? Is a hero someone who lands a crippled airplane? Is a hero someone who finds a cure to a wasting disease? Is a hero someone who uses their supernatural powers to help others? Is a hero someone who loves another person so much they put their needs ahead of their own? Is a hero someone who stops in the hustle and bustle of life just to listen to those who no longer have a voice?
Heroes comes in all shapes, sizes, and personas.
And that it what this short story collection is about. Seven stories that explore heroes and heroic activities.
Some Are Born to Save the World

The Zombie Whisperer
This Time Around
A Murder of Scarecrows
