Friday Night Knife & Gun Club<\/em>, the audiobook<\/a><\/h1>\n

Story written by L.S.Collison<\/h4>\n

Performed by Annika Connor<\/h4>\n

Cover art by Annika Connor<\/h4>\n

Author Linda Collison and New York based artist Annika Connor have collaborated to produce a 45 minute audio performance, Friday Night Knife & Gun Club<\/em><\/a>, from Audible.com.<\/h4>\n

The short story is absurdist fiction, a near-future noir thriller about a shooter in an urban hospital in the American West.\u00a0 Annika Connor, as Kit Carson, RN, narrates the story as her shift from hell unfolds. Collison calls the story a fictional memoir, as much of it is based on incidents in her own life as a single mother and nurse working the night shift in Denver area hospitals. \u201cIt\u2019s a satirical statement of the current culture of gun violence in America,\u201d the author says. \u201cI wrote the first draft in a response to the Newtown school shootings. Unfortunately, it\u2019s becoming less fictional every day.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Linda Collison, who sometimes publishes as L.S.Collison, is the author of novels, essays, short fiction, and screenplays. Her historical novel Star-Crossed<\/em> was a New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age<\/em> \u2013 2007.\u00a0 Collison worked more than a decade in Denver hospitals as a registered nurse.<\/h4>\n

Annika Connor, artist and actor, performed and produced the audiobook. She also created the cover art, from her own original water color, Night Trigger.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Friday Night Knife & Gun Club<\/em> is the first of a series of \u201cnurse noir\u201d fiction from L.S. Collison and Annika Connor. The audiobook is available on Audible<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, and iTunes.<\/h4>\n
