Fifteen Short Stories

By John D. Russell

A fantastic new collection of fifteen stories by master storyteller John D. Russell, ranging from the laugh-out-loud humorous to the stunningly poignant, these stories will delight and astonish you in equal measure with their cunning twists and ironic endings. Follow along as fantasy lovers created by a couple trapped in a miserable marriage decide they've had enough and run away together; meet a psychiatrist who becomes obsessed with reading the poetry of a patient unwilling to share them; join a family man who wants nothing more than to share just one of the idyllic Fourth of July celebrations from his youth with his disinterested family by dragging them to see Mt. Rushmore. Read how a series of unfortunate, but humorous incidents lead to the destruction of an iconic local restaurant, and of how a simple country farmer teaches a cynical city newspaper man about flight and a thing or two about life at the same time. Plus, share in what the author learned about love and death during his 8th grade year at a parochial school...
Captivatingly entertaining, "Short Stories" is a delightful cross-genre collection perfect for readers of all tastes
