Sweet Success for Bowen Gillings

Published May 29, 2025

Congratulations to Bowen Gillings on his latest release, OVERSTUFFED LUNCHBOX: A BUNCH OF BITE-SIZED (June 2025). This collection of short stories and novellas both old and new is filled with endless fun, fast, furiously entertaining tales. Lovers of fantasies, thrillers, and even a bit of horror and history will find what they’re looking for between these covers.

ABOUT THE BOOK:  OVERSTUFFED LUNCHBOX is the genre-bending collection of award-winning tales and lost treasures. Laughs, gasps, and heart-pounding action are crammed inside this bulging box of circus heroes, world-weary warriors, and flirtatious neighbors bearing questionable casseroles.

Life in post-Eden suburbia may be no bed of roses for Adam and Eve, what with Dad planning a visit, but at least they have two semi-psychotic kids to even things out. Renown warriors Rom and Drood set out to save yet another threatened village only to find they must call for help from the one being they dread above all others, an angel with wanderlust. Falling asleep in class has its consequences—like a trip to the principal’s office through empty halls stalked by a demonic hound.

This compilation includes some of Bowen’s most popular shorts along with never before released tales. Pick up a copy from Barnes & Noble and Books2Read.
