Author Timothy Hurley is pleased to announce the release of his new humorous short story, Hanzel and Gretyl: A Boomer Fairy Tale.
In this fractured fairy tale Boomers Hanzel and Gretyl survived their childhood adventures with the wicked witch and terrible forest only to find themselves grown old as Social Security check-cashing pensioners in suburbia, and facing evil family and frightening shopping malls.
