"Five Scoops" Is An Addiction!

"Five Scoops" Is An Addiction! is a collection of 16 shorter and longer stories. It's the fourth in The "Scoops" series and combines the best elements of its forerunners. Alex Carrick has twice received Honorable Mention recognition (2010 and 2011) in the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition for literary excellence. He likes to explore in an amusing and often touching way the dilemnas we all face in this modern, fast-paced life. He'll play with structure and time to present his unique vision. In his fiction, he's not afraid to tackle such diverse genres as paranormal, ghost stories, science fiction, fantasy, murder mystery and even romance. He likes to joke that he's especially adept at the latter. In mid-May 2012, Mr. Carrick's site (www.alexcarrick.com) was chosen "Blog of the Week" by Writer's Digest. The accompanying description said, "Alex Carrick's blog is clean, crisp and entertaining. His stories range from humorous to thought-provoking, making it a fun read."
