CALL ME ANYTIME is a collection of twenty stories, including one novella, by master storyteller Steven J. Conifer, winner of several literary awards and the author of eighteen books, including ten novels.The stories compiled here are mostly character studies, an examination of the plights of the lonely, the desperate, the down-and-out, and even the mentally disturbed. Though decidedly dark and in some cases bizarre, many of the stories feature redemptive and uplifting endings, including "The Happiest Birthday," the novella with which the volume concludes. The predominant themes of the stories are tri-fold: heartsickness, homesickness, and lovesickness.Any fan of good (if somewhat macabre) literary fiction won't be disappointed by these tales.
