Bedbug's Writing, Volume OneWith a mix of heart, humor, and a little darkness, Tony Lovell explores the perseverance of love in the face of unfortunate circumstances, death and the ghosts that won’t leave us alone, literal and metaphorical rebellion against that which is perceived as normalcy, and more in this collection of short stories and poetry. Many of the pieces may have originally been written for writing challenges on websites such as Grammar Ghoul Press, while others have either never previously been shared or were shared in limited capacity, yet each story stands alone as a work of love and passion and displays the “illusion of capability” that Tony possesses. There’s a little something for everyone in Bedbug’s Writing!

What's Inside?Most of the short stories and poetry in this collection was written between 2014 and 2016, with the exception of a handful of pieces which are much older. The pieces are separated into four sections: "Love, Hope, & Unfortunate Circumstances;" "For the Young at Heart;" "The Darker Stuff;" and "Freestyle: the 'Poetry' Section."

One thing I really like about Tony's writing is that you never see the plot twists coming, yet they are believable. His is the kind of writing that will stick with you for a good, long while. And I love that! -Susan S., from Amazon
I loved this entire book.I liked the twisted ideas that came from the authors mind.The stories were as he stated in the catagories ,esp. The Darker Stuff. I really liked Revelation and The Bridegroom's Hand too. I don't know what that says about me but I think maybe there is hope yet.I can't wait for Volume Two Bad Words to come out. -Michelle, from Goodreads

I've had the opportunity to read Tony's work before so naturally when I heard he complied a collection of his stories, I ordered a copy right away. I am never disappointed by his wit, attention to detail, and ability to grasp and keep the reader's attention until the end. His vivid imagery propels the reader to experience the different emotions he seamlessly creates with each individual piece. I love how the styles and stories are all different but you can tell they are uniquely his. I look forward to his next installment! -mom2rockstarz, from Amazon
After reading [this], I can say I was very impressed. I loved each short story & poem that I read. Each one had me either laughing or crying & always intrigued. -Krystal B, from Amazon
