The Word of the Day is "Trust"

By Michael Kitchen

Michael Kitchen's unique stories force characters into trusting society, the process, and in themselves. Published between 2009 and 2022, this is the first time they have been collected for readers to enjoy.

"Michael Kitchen's entertaining stories from the justice system and beyond - sometimes the beyond - deliver irony, romance, and surprise."

Richard Polt, The Typewriter Revolution and Evertype

"Michael Kitchen's collection shines with crucial clarity, and his profound introspection will startle a reader whether the story is about a man returning to his wife after a love affair with another woman, or about a court case, or a whimsical other worldly detective story. His range of storytelling is impressive and vastly entertaining."

Kathleen Ripley Leo, poet, novelist, memoirist, past President of Detroit Working Writers.

"Michael Kitchen writes with an eye of a keen observer and heart of a gentle warrior. His characters resound with authenticity as he brings us along to new discoveries."
