“This is a glimpse into the characters of Shawn and Willie Daniels who take front and center in the author’s full-length novel, DOG BONE SOUP. A nostalgic vignette, PURE TRASH will whisk you into an era and place where many struggled to survive the grip of poverty. This short novella is filled with adventure, and the fun of boys being boys–riding bikes, collecting bottles for penny candy, and running into trouble…and prejudice.

“Enjoy this short read but when you are finished, I highly recommend purchasing DOG BONE SOUP. It’s a gem of a book that will leave a lasting impression with its memorable characters, heart and story line. Don’t miss it!” ~ Mae Clair, author

Book summary

PURE TRASH (Historical Fiction/Ages 10-adult) In this short story adventure set in New England in the 1950s, two young boys set out on a Saturday adventure you won’t want to miss! Experience the joy of a carefree Saturday and the blistering pain of feeling not quite good enough as you hop on a bike and ride into town with two delightful young boys who find adventure at every turn. Shawn and Willie Daniels live in the woods with no indoor water or plumbing. Dad spends most of his hard-earned money on beer. Prejudice, class division, alcoholism, poverty, injustice, and bullying are cleverly woven into this 1950s adventure short. PURE TRASH is the short story prequel to DOG BONE SOUP, Stevens’s début novel DOG BONE SOUP.

    I’m considering making my ebook free for a limited time. Do you find this sort of promotion works?

      Hi, Jacqui. Generally every three month, I run FREE promos for PURE TRASH (the short story prequel to my novel DOG BONE SOUP. It gives new readers the opportunity to check out one of my books for free and usually results in new reviews and followers as well. For my other books, I run 99c promos the following months in succession. I plan to continue this strategy and suggest it’s definitely worth a try. My books are on Amazon’s KDP, so it’s relatively easy to set up the promos. The work is in getting the ‘word’ out during the promo, especially to new perspective readers. Cheers and well-wishes! xo

    That’s a generous offer, Bette. I already have my copy, of course. I’m sorry I’m here a bit late for a worthwhile share.

    Excellent read and p request to ‘Dog Bone Soup’ . I read them both and found them worthy of five stars. Coming of age books great for both YA and adults of all ages.
