"Have you ever had one of those nights when you could swear in front of a court of law that you haven’t had a wink of sleep, but the prosecutor would have a field day with details concerning your alarm clock going off after what seemed like only an hour and your lingering memories of mischievous lawn furniture?"

Forget everything you know about life, the world and all the objects in it. Bradley Sands can bend them to his will with a frightening disregard for reality. You never know who, or what, is lying in wait behind the next comma. Whether it's Super Noxious Air Man and his sidekick, Kid Centrifugal Force, or the next episode of Teddy the Rottweiler Spayer, Sands keeps you off-balance with laughter and astonishment.

These stories are crammed with the delightfully odd and the scurrilously silly. From moment to moment My Heart Said No requires the most unexpected, perplexing and hilarious leaps of faith. But you'll be glad you took this exhilarating jump into uncharted territory.

"Reading this collection is like ingesting a bag of fun-colored candy, removing your stomach, and then taking it to a party for use as a pinata. Some readers will love these stories, some readers will hate them but, displayed throughout, is a true love of language and a generous dose of creativity." -Andersen Prunty, author of The Beard

"Sands is a talented, fearsome, comic visionary who will usher you into the psychedelic matrix of futurity."
—D. Harlan Wilson, author of Blankety Blank

"I came, I saw, I read, I laughed, I fell out of my chair. You're more unstable than I am. Well done!"
—Kris Saknussemm, author of Zanesville

"Reading the work of Bradley Sands caused me to vomit happiness and sunshine from my eyeballs. Highly recommended."
— Kevin L. Donihe, author of Shall We Gather at the Garden?
