A Rose By Any Other Name: An Alphabet of Tales about a Man and a Woman is a collection of twenty-six snap-shot short stories, each about a moment between two people at a crossroads. From New York to Los Angeles, from Black Rock City, Burning Man and back to Brooklyn, the tales give us a voyeur's view to sweet first kisses all the way to the bitter final ones: A man in the midst of an ugly break-up rips out the last page of each of his lover's book collection and then wishes he could change their ending (Last Paige). A flower-bearing man, who hates taking taxis, has the duration of a ride to win over his cabdriver and her alluring smile (Hail Mary). A piece of jewelry solves a mystery and leads to a twisted tryst (The Cross of Lorraine). An unexpected, second chance at love and happiness amongst Senior Citizens in Florida is sparked by a hurricane and the ability to drive at night (Mustang Sally).Also included: a tale of breakups and breakdowns (Nina, the Pinto & the Santa Ana Winds), fortunate mistaken identity (A Rose by Any Name), one man's obsession with his bartender (Fiona, the Irish Girl), sex during a torrential downpour (Hannah & the Hitchhiker), jealousy (Charlotte's Web), deceit, (Victoria's Secret) and one woman's first foray into nude modeling (Ursula, Undressed).
