About Kevin Urban
I am a husband, a father, and a writer living in New Mexico. Thrilling people with my storytelling is what I enjoy most and I write because I have incredible stories to tell. I take no responsibility for the things the characters say and do (ha ha ha). I develop a character and that person becomes a free spirit exploring the world I create for them.
Sincerely, Kevin Urban

Blog post(First published on Short Fiction Break magazine.) https://shortfictionbreak.com/transfusium/
Leafless November trees arched over the path, lifeless yet alive, as my siblings and I approached the Baron’s estate. Gretchen’s thirteen-year-old face looked cheerful as she tested the bow in her hair. Peter, eleven, played with a curtain’s tassel that swung from the carriage window.
Miss Ostrom slapped Peter’s hand. “Don’t force me to take you back to the orphanage.” She skewered us1 year ago Read more -
Blog postI returned from the war in Europe. It was over. Yet strangely, the numbness that accompanied me through the hardest times still lingered. The blankness of emotion that was in some ways a shield against the insanity still enveloped me.
Only in my dreams did an unsettling feeling arise, a drowning sensation that woke me from my sleep. A dream that always ended the same, trapped in a tank like a fish, staring out into a room distorted by the glass that held me, prisoner.2 years ago Read more -
Blog postMy face freezes as I peer out from my mountain cave overlooking the village. The cold seizes me with shivers as my breaths quiver from sadness and anger.
The village glows through the falling snow that ever thickens. I can’t tell if I am numb from cold or grief as I peek down below at the cozy cottages resembling the embers of my fire.
Where my home sits at the edge of the forest, there are no lights. I can picture my mother laying in her bed.

Blog postCHAPTER 1
NATE
Had you shaken a snow globe, then flash-froze it, the action, though unmoving, would still be expressed. This was the appearance of Nate Jackson. His eyes welled with a horrid vision, his hands clenched something that wasn’t there, and his mouth stretched open cupping a moan that never emerged as his motionless body lay near the entrance of a vacant lot. Something had shaken him, rattled his soul and then froze it…

Titles By Kevin Urban
The Transcendent Authors pulled together and created this book, Spring the Unexpected, for the benefit of all people. Ten different genres are depicted. Each author provided two stories for your enjoyment.
You might not always have time to sit down and read a novel, and you miss that. Life has become so hectic for so many, short stories give you something new to experience in five minutes or an hour. And if you don't read them all, no problem.
In fact, you might want to keep it by the bathtub for when you have those long soaks and a glass of wine to unwind from your busy day.
Together, we compiled this anthology to resemble an old 45 RPM vinyl record, with an A and B side. The 'A' side stories are all based on the theme, "Tolerance." Whereas side 'B' are tales straight from the hearts of the authors.
Both sides, like those records of old, are a banquet of entertainment for the reader. So sit back with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, put your feet up, get comfy, and prepare to enjoy the feast.
This first entry, in a four-part series dedicated to the seasons, focuses on the time of year that ushers in rest from the heat of the beating sun, pumpkin spice, sweater weather, back-to-school days, and the start of some of our favorite holidays.
