New Release! The Brave Little Mailman (And Other Stories)

Hey! It’s Challenge Book #9 in my twelve-month publishing challenge, and I’ve got a fresh collection of funny stories for you that I think you’re going to love…

The Brave Little Mailman

(And Other Stories)

Sometimes, you just want to read some silly little stories.

Escape. Relax. Maybe even laugh.

Could this be you, Gentle Reader? Are you, in fact, hankering for a sweet literary refreshment? The prose equivalent of a mini-vacation, complete with tasty snacks?

Perhaps these five short tales may offer the solace you seek…

• In “Bernard, the Incurable Entrepreneur,” the risk-averse Al Oates meets Bernard, a more-than-usually bonkers entrepreneur with an urgent need for cash. Don’t worry, though, Bernard has a brilliant plan. And they’ll both probably survive.

• In “No Man’s Hair Is His Own,” star-crossed new lovers Lily and Ferdinand must confront some deep-seated beliefs (well, just one, really), along with some scheming relatives, if they’re ever going to find true love.

• In “Mr. Granlaw and the Banana,” a stock literary character decides he’s sick and tired of spouting fatherly wisdom, having midlife crises, and falling in love with his wife all over again. His solution may surprise you.

• In “A Third Chance”, Barry (age 37) finds himself reliving the biggest missed opportunity of his entire life—back in high school. Will he seize this last chance to set things right? Or… not?

• Finally, Ed Furl is “The Brave Little Mailman”, a simple country postal worker who’s determined to deliver one hand-addressed blue envelope to the daughter of a billionaire… no matter what wild and treacherous perils may await.

If you love goofy (yet earnest) characters, zany situations, and the occasional (okay, frequent) sweet romance along the way, this fun collection is the gem you’ve been hunting for.

WOW… YOU REALLY WRITE A LOT OF COMEDY…

I really do. Laughing is pretty great.

YOU MEAN YOU LAUGH AT YOUR OWN STUFF?

Sure! (The first time, anyway.) If I don’t think it’s funny, why should anyone else?

WHAT ABOUT THE LAST THREE BOOKS IN THE CHALLENGE? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO BE?

Not to give anything away, but… you may have detected a pattern that will continue.

MORE COMEDY?? ARE YOU EVER GOING TO WRITE ANYTHING ELSE?

Of course! In fact, one of the books I wrote last year was barely funny at all.

YOU MEAN MURDER IN A PSYCHIC PRISON?

No, a different one. But I’m not going to talk about it just yet; that book won’t come out for several months at least.

WAIT! THAT’S IT? YOU’RE JUST GOING TO DROP TANTALIZING HINTS?

Basically, yeah. Though “barely funny” might not be my most gripping hook ever.

Anyhow, I’ve got three more books to publish here. I’ll see you soon.

BUT—

Bye! Happy reading!
