        Step into E.E.King’s world when you read “Real Conversations With Imaginary Friends”(27^th Dimension Publishing). The book is a collection of short stories that range from “Cold Fusion” which deals with the problem a university has with an over-age Alzheimer Nobel laureate in physics and chemistry whose office needs fumigating. Or the half page story entitled “How Novels Grow” where Samantha Green is tackled by a short story as she walked by a library” . “Family Stories” first line is “My grandfather was the meanest man in the world, at least so  family relates.” Which is followed by the short page of “The ghost in the Tower(another family story) or Why I’m not an Heiress”.  To add to the book’s charm, E.E. King read from the book when we taped. It is no surprise that Ray Bradbury endorses this book, writing “These tales are marvelously inventive, wildly funny and deeply thought provoking. I can not recommend them highly enough”.
