Robert Michael Morris on "Gifts Not Yet Given"

Russ and I were first introduced to Robert Michael Morris, like most of America, through the hysterical (and too-short-lived) series, The Comeback.  On it, he played Mickey, Lisa Kudrow's hairstylist, and he delivered lines and wonderful reactions like nobody's business!What most people don't realize is that, in addition to being a sought-after actor, he is also an accomplished author and playwright.He read my new book, Gifts Not Yet Given, and gave me a lovely quote:

"Kergan Edwards-Stout's new book, a collection of thematic short stories, is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you are going to get. And that is delicious. The short story form is a delicate blend of trenchant dialogue, brisk character sketches and local color, and here they are all totally satisfying. What I love about short stories is that I always want a bit more, a tidier resolution, and I am a sucker for a happy ending. Mr. Edwards-Stout has mastered this form, titillating, plucking the heart strings and most often causing a smile of recognition. Some stories already portend a lengthier treatment, a novella perhaps. He touches our common humanity and amazes with his insight. The little collection is a Gift Already Given: a gift of delight and sweet humanity." - Robert Michael Morris, actor - The Comeback, Running Wilde, and author - An American Scrapbook
