Recent release “Surveys and Scams: A Chronicle of American Life” from Page Publishing author Kirk Andersen is a thought-provoking book of short stories offering a glimpse of unforgettably ordinary characters navigating the challenges and vicissitudes of the modern human experience.

Kirk Andersen, a longtime Tennessee resident who served a two-year stint in the US Army, studied journalism at the University of Tennessee Knoxville before dropping out, and presently lives with his autistic brother, and the author’s collection of eight hundred board games, has completed his new book “Surveys and Scams: A Chronicle of American Life”: a compelling work of realistic fiction.

“The book is a telling of the work-a-day dreary lives of Americans: wards of the state, small-time money-grubbers, high school pranksters, simpleton geniuses—the ones nullified and canceled by their culture, society, and country—the ones affected by the political climates of the day only wanting to achieve some form of happiness and stability in their lives. They search for it in the various corners and niches their society has left for them and discover the interesting surprises that lay there. It is a chronicle of American life and the surveys and scams that go along with it.

In Kirk Andersen’s second book, he has written what he feels are slices of American life. Stories that portray normal people and their experiences in modern America. The stories could be looked upon as social justice literature but are really just a narrative of the way things are or could be.”

Published by Page Publishing, Kirk Andersen’s engrossing book offers a poignant commentary on modern American life for avid short story readers.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Surveys and Scams: A Chronicle of American Life” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Gollo is a collection of moral tales that he brought with him to the United States from his native country, the Ivory Coast, Africa. His stories offer readers a greater understanding of the cultural traditions and moral lessons depicted in tales passed down through generations.

This book is a collection of small tales or legends his parents taught him. He came to the United States with the manuscript he was still working on in French. When he became able to write in English, he found it necessary to translate it into French to allow his nephews to learn something where their father originated. He has been in school all his life for he loves to learn. Germain is currently working on a doctorate degree in transportation management from Atlantic International University of Hawaii in Honolulu.

Published by Page Publishing, Gollo’s edifying tale introduces readers to stories that express the morality and wisdom of the Ivory Coast. It includes some context and descriptions of how the stories were originally told as well as the author’s family stories.

Readers will enjoy hearing the tale of the hare, a cunning creature with a fertile imagination that helps him navigate even life’s worst situations, and the hyena, a gluttonous, arrogant, vile creature who misapplies the hare’s teachings, along with many other stories that illustrate familiar life lessons in new ways.

New book shares 16 short stories of strong women from various segment of Indian society who chose to speak and stand for themselves differently

Nidhi Gogia has been a victim of acute body shaming and is keen on spreading awareness of women’s rights, gender equality and other genderless social issues. Her purpose is to spread awareness and be a voice for the women’s community. It is for this reason she writes “Power Of Nisa” (published by AuthorHouse UK), a web of 16 characters covered in 16 different short stories based on the lives of women in modern India, some heard and unheard.

Rumaisa, a teenage girl who was crying on the ghats of Kolkata, did not know the struggles of Vidhya while she was fighting for her own. Still, Rukhsar’s father broke the stereotype, and why was Suman being criticized? Little Zoya was not aware of the destination. Sargam took eight years to come out of the web, which was spun by someone else, and Niharika’s long journey was not easy. It still pains her heart, but Kanak knocked out the odds, whereas Anokhi faced the rocks. Advocate Rohima could have ended her life, but she chose this.

Various stigmas in Indian society are still barriers for women in the 21st century, where a widow is asked to eat curd and rice. Still, these 16 strong women from different segments of Indian society chose to speak and stand for themselves differently. With poems, sketches and illustrations, readers will meet and feel each character’s presence. These women know the articulation of handling the scattered life like water in a mold. Stories that will make them rethink the perception of life and their existence as a human.

“Each of these stories comes with a moral, so there is something constructive to take away from each story, as to what we can do as an individual to overcome the prevailing issues. And even if we are not the victim, how we can support victimized individuals around us?” Gogia says. When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, she answers, “Positivity and strength to speak against injustice and to walk away from anything which is limiting your true potential. Understand the fact that any relation is not sustainable if it calls only one partner/ family to compromise their dreams and desires (no adjustment is there from the other partner) and when there is no love and respect in any relation.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.authorhouse.com/en-gb/bookstore/bookdetails/845655-power-of-nisa

Recent release “Short Story Collection: Volume IV” from Page Publishing author Robert Wilson is an entertaining work offering myriad portraits of life in the American Midwest.

Robert Wilson, an Oregon native and US Navy veteran who retired after twenty-two years of service, worked an additional twenty-two years as a machinist for the civil service before moving to Missouri, where he enjoys fishing and taking log walks around town, has completed his new book “Short Story Collection: Volume IV”: the latest in his engaging series of short stories.

“Robert (Wilson) still listens to Fox News on the TV. With Rush Limbaugh gone, he spends that time listening to the men and women that have replaced Rush Limbaugh.

The regular news stations block the truth from the public. With Robert’s first two books done, Madam President and Madam President 2, he started writing short stories. Short story collection volumes I, II, III, and IV are complete.

Robert is working on a fifth volume now. Robert’s writing gives him something to do to kill the boredom of being alone. He tried to put humor in every story, but some stories are sad. Robert is on his fourth keyboard. He wore the letters off of some of the keys. There was a lot of laughing at his own humor, and some tears were shed on some sad stories. Robert has managed to get twenty-one stories in each volume. He has written some stories in a day. Others may run into several days to get all the story in order to make sense.”

Published by Page Publishing, Robert Wilson’s engrossing book is an entertaining choice for avid short story readers.

A blend of history and fiction, Weingarten brings these stories to life, honoring immigrants who sacrificed and paved the way for their descendants.

“The twentieth century was both wonderful and horrible,” writes Weingarten. “There were two catastrophic world wars and many ghastly smaller wars. But there were medical advances and discoveries that extended the lives of people and animals. There were many inventions that made life easier for ordinary people, inventions we take for granted. Some people were blessed with productive and peaceful lives while others suffered from events beyond their control. Each decade of the twentieth century was unique. [I have] written about some [I] witnessed, some events told to [me], and some [I have] made up entirely from her imagination. Even as a child, [I] was always ready to listen to someone’s story. [I] wondered about [my] twenty cousins and many aunts and uncles, some of whom [I] never met. As an educator and member of several organizations, [I] found friends who had a unique story to tell.”

Published by Page Publishing, Darlene Weingarten’s eye-opening series highlights what life was truly like during the previous century in America as science and technology advanced while societal injustices and political disagreements created consequences for everyone. A sincere overview of the changes America faced through the eyes of one family that witnessed it all, Weingarten weaves a fascinating and gripping narrative that is sure to enlighten and captivate the minds and hearts of readers everywhere.

Michael Supe Granda shares 23 stories that present the good, the bad, the ugly, the jolly and the spirited side of a professional Santa

Michael Supe Granda always loved telling and re-telling stories. As he began turning into a professional Santa, the stories were too funny and colorful to remain untold. It is for this reason he now releases “Fat & Funny (So, you want to be Santa Claus)” (published by AuthorHouse).

For anyone who has met a Santa, Granda believes many of them do not realize the wide and varied aspects of the job and others do not see the requirements it takes to be a good, professional Santa. For him, a professional Santa is multi-faceted and disciplined. These 23 stories present the good, the bad, the ugly, the jolly and the spirited side of being a professional Santa. Each is a story about what Granda saw, did, looked at, laughed at, teared up at, and experienced at his gig that particular day.

“This book will appeal to readers because not only does it lend a unique insight into the Santa profession, it recants the wide variety of situations one can find himself in, as Santa. It is filled with humor and insight,” Granda says. He adds, “Being a professional Santa is something not many folks can do. Old, fat guys with shaggy white beards can. Spry, diminutive men, with thinning, dark hair are automatically eliminated from consideration.”

When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Granda answers, “I want them to realize that being a professional Santa is a legitimate gig. If you get the gig, you are just an actor – an actor portraying Santa Claus. When you are in the suit, reality melts into myth. There are standards and practices that should be adhered to. You never know when a child may be observing you from a distance and you do not want to disappoint any child.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.authorhouse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/832372-fat-funny

Robin Michelle loves to tell what she calls true acts of kindness stories and shares them with anyone who wants to listen.

Author Robin Michelle writes, “I live in a small city called Monessen. We’re about twenty miles west of Youngwood. That is where the college is located. My classes are on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am a young college student who started college after I met a young man I fell in love with. He is from the ‘Windy City’ Chicago, Illinois. He’s seen so much in his lifetime compared to mine. We fell deeply in love. We lived in Chicago for a while. Then we decided to move to Pennsylvania. We rented an apartment from my father. He owned an apartment building. All of our family lived there through the years. We both attended WCCC.”

Published by Page Publishing, Robin Michelle’s impactful work reminds readers about how manners will go a long way. This work helps readers understand themselves and others and learn how to trust themselves and go with their instincts.
