Kennedy, his Camelot years, the Democrats, Republicans, the Addams Family, and American Gothic the painting? Only what he read about, or watched on TV - and that was a lot! MATTHEW GLENN WARD always had a fantasy about saving Jack Kennedy's life and now with this book he has his chance - and you the reader can come along for the ride! 'John F. Kennedy Lives in the Future!' is a collection of short, mostly satirical modern day fables that take real life, and twist it 'til it leaks 'funny'. We have JFK as time traveler, Elizabethan poet John Donne as serial killer, a ghoul shotgun wedding, an unemployed cat, rivers getting married, old men taking revenge on young hoods, cheapskate heart attack victims, chocolate iPhones, plenty of booze, some drugs, gambling, stories that just make no sense plotwise, and a bit of love too - nothing is meanspirited. Influenced by such great writers as Jack Kerouac, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Monty Python and The Goons, 'John F. Kennedy Lives in the Future!' is a book by an Australian that Americans will devour. With satisfying absurdity, and short flights into the surreal, your often poetic and clever wordplay delighted me with humor reminiscent of Monty Python, Groucho Marx and Woody Allen. I would read a bit to break up my day, and it made for a well needed escape from the mundane, workaday world. Fresh, spare and modern in appeal. (Though modern is such an old-fashioned word, isn't it?) - Diane Havens (VO, Audiobooks & Narration, NJ, USA) 'John F. Kennedy Lives In The Future, ' is a collection of devious and irreverent tales which elicited more than a few sly smiles. I also thought that your stories possessed an offbeat, sometimes black sense of humour; with the collection sometimes feeling like Paul Jennings for adults. I really enjoyed reading through it. - Michael Kontoudis (Published Author, Australia) Matt Ward's short stories and flash fictions have a fable like quality.
