A humorous, sometimes too realistic collection of poems and short stories that revolve around varying characters including treacherous Jinn that grant wishes from behind the huge wings of mythological birds, thuggish cockroaches, mafia drug dealers and wicked gypsies that perform curses for the desperate. Telling Really Tall Tales is just that -- a mixing together of tales that mirror everyday life with unrealistic tall tales that humor the mature mind. Stories range from mild to erotic. Short story "The Humble" included in the 2016 Scythe Prize
