OUR
STORY
BEGINS

Welcome to the literary works of
“Woolly” Willie Alsedek.

A growing library of fiction. From the absurd to the utmost serious of happenings. Where humor creeps up in the darkest of places. Where genre is unreliable and reality is ambiguous — and arguably irrelevant. A library of character driven journeys and misadventures, happy accidents, and dreadful turns. Fantastic quests. Bleeding hearts. Cosmic entanglement. Emotional nonsense. Unexpected friendships. Where surrealism is stretched so thin you may forget where you are. Where tragedy catches one off guard, and happy endings are open to interpretations. Explore, read, listen, scratch your head, and always enjoy and share.
