A Carefree Lighthearted Collection of Short Stories to Help you Escape from the Constantly Depressing Political and Global News
John Daly has covered the entire genre of human experience with his short stories: love, biting humor, social commentary, satire, snappy dialog, mythology and "tongue in cheek" observations. This eclectic collection of short stories has something for readers of all ages.
Potomac Falls, VA (PRWEB) December 30, 2006 -- Today's average person is far too busy to become emotionally involved in reading and trying to finish a lengthy novel. Their average day is usually already so stressful that it requires soothing by reading something simply entertaining, not something that evokes more conflict. Enter the modern uplifting short story. Outskirts Press proudly announces "The Fiction Writer," written by John Daly.
First time short story writer John Daly had been a civil trial attorney in private practice for many years. The very nature of his profession required him to be involved with clients that related descriptions of calamities and tragedies that could befall any of us. Seldom was there any good news in a new client's initial interview.
"During that interview, I compassionately thought of the narrative as 'another sad story on the boulevard of broken dreams,'" said John Daly. The first thought, after the legal solution was begun, was to attempt to restore the client's faith in the belief that "wishes and dreams do come true". Sunshine and flowers are all around all of us. Just look up and you can see clouds and blue sky."
"'The Fiction Writer' is a fun book of short stories! Readers can read a single story in one sitting and then put it down. You can select a story to read that you think might be appropriate to the kind of a day you have had. When you do return to the book you don't have to re-read parts of it to refresh your memory on who the characters are. You just start a new and different pleasant story," said Daly.
This book is small and light enough to take with you where ever you go. As a present or thank you gift, it would be unsurpassed.
