title: We're All in This Together: A Novella and Stories
author:  Owen King 
description: From the 26-year-old scion of literary giant Stephen King comes a compelling, imaginative debut collection of four short stories both creepy and heartfelt, plus a compassionate novella about a 15-year-old son of a single mother. Set in Maine around the 2000 election, the title novella captures the teenage narrator's anger over his mother's impending marriage to Dr. Vic, while his family, led by a union organizer grandfather, seethes over Bush's election. George lays siege to his mother's relationship and helps his grandfather build a sniper's nest from which to attack the paperboy who defaces the old man's "Al Gore is the Real President" sign. Freaks and weirdosexternal symptoms of his protagonists' inner strugglespeople King's shorter stories, which strive to balance the lurid with a reach for emotional truth. In "Wonders," about a baseball player who takes his pregnant girlfriend to a Coney Island circus freak abortionist, the macabre and the heartfelt feel discordant, and the story ends with unearned violence. But in "Frozen Animals," King achieves a surreal blend of gory, vivid description of unanesthetized dental surgery layered with the drug-addicted dentist's intermittent memories of a happier past. This original collection heralds the arrival of the next generation. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  Author’s Note
   
   
  This is a novella sequel to Titus and Owen’s story, My Everything. I
  loved telling the story of one of my favorite couples; Titus, an intimidating
  Dom-Daddy who found his perfect match in his sweet boy, and Owen, the
  big-hearted, pocket-sized boy who needed the guidance and love of his
  Daddy. I wanted to give my readers another peek into their life together. This
  is a no-angst, feel good quick read. This novella is a lot like Owen - short,
  sweet, and full of heat! I hope you enjoy reading about Titus and Owen’s
  special day filled with sweet moments, time spent with fun and feisty friends,
  and of course very sexy times.

  I marvelled at my sweet boy’s beauty as he slept beside me. I loved
  the makeup he wore because it made him happy, but Owen didn’t need it. He
  was naturally gorgeous, and not just on the outside. He was the sweetest
  person I’d ever met and he thought the same of me.
  That wasn’t an ideal shared
