PRLog -- "What would we know if we didn’t know anything?" M. Kaat Toy’s new flash fiction book,
Disturbed Sleep, asks. The answer? "More than we do now." These fifty-four stories overheard, transcribed, experienced, invented, and inspired by myths, tales, literature, history, and research provide original perspectives on the facts of everyday life and the possibilities of alternate realities. Grouped in six themed sections, they depict the natural world, relationships, and spirituality in lyrical prose.
