Press Release
Body = Timothy N. Stelly, Sr., author of "Tempest In The Stone"
and the upcioming "The Malice of Cain" has completed an
anthology of novellas titled, "Coming In Threes". The
book features Stelly's "hip-hop political satire" style
in such stories as "Reversal of Misfortunme", "From
the Outhouse to the White House" and "Run, Boy! The Last
Black Man IN America". "Reversal" explores strereotypes
in the setting of the antebellum South. Four gang members are swept
through a crease in the time-space continuum and land in Southampton,
Virginioa in 1831, a few days before Nat Turner's slave rebel;lion.
Blacks wage a revolution and they become the slave owners and whites
the slaves. In "Outhouse" a black custyodian captures
the spirit of everyday Americans, and with the help of a Hollywood
mega-agent, an eccentric billionaire and a powerful U.S. Senator,
is swept into the White House. Howqever, his idealism ans his violation
of a certain social taboo--along with a band of traitorous hangers
on--threatens to
undermine his presidency and his place in history.
In "Run Boy!" Stelly spoofs the "last man" genre,
giving it a humorous, urban twist. Mad scientists taint the water
supplies of major cities with a chemical called Negron-3, which
robs blacks of their color, cultural knowledge and mannerisms. When
Alex Baker realizes he is possibly the only black man unaffected
by the experiment, he goes on the lam. Later he meets several scientists
who are working on an
antidote. But can he get it into water supplies before the black
race is exterminated? Stelly has said that his writing style is,
"A combination of Richard Wright and Richard Pryor." Some
of his work can be read online at UselessKnowledge.com. He also
writes a blurb in the "East Bay Voices" section of the
Sunday Contra Costa Times newspaper. An upcoming urban thriller
titled, "Thick As Thieves" and the coming of age tale,
"Darker Than Blue" are nearing cokmpletion and will soon
be made available for review.
