Pages : 219
Book Description
It’s been over 15 years since Schulte’s last collection of stories, Ju-Ju Belle & Other Stories. Since then, a lot has changed for the author. Namely, marriage, baby, new jobs, and a move to suburbs. That said, he is still writing the same offbeat, edgy stories that will make you smile and wonder and maybe scratch your head. His new collection, You Are My Fireworks: Stories and Poems, won’t disappoint in either volume or quality. The titular story, You Are My Fireworks, concerns a lonely grocery clerk confronted by a kindly, if eccentric, apparition. His Fourth of July is nothing like expected. Then there’s ‘The Growlers.’ In this story a recently laid off man turns to drinking before getting set straight by his wife. Although now sober, he begins acting in an animalistic way, even to the point of howling at the moon. Could he be turning into a suburban...werewolf? The longest story of the collection is called ‘Tuborg, the Littlest Guard Dog.’ Tuborg is the runt of a large litter of puppies. When adoption time comes, nobody wants Tuborg because he’s too scrawny to even notice. Finally, the last customer of the day decides against his better judgement to adopt Tuborg. He decides to make Tuborg the guard dog of his very large back yard. Tuborg is determined to be the best guard dog he can be, but he has no idea what awaits him in that zany back yard. A cattle drive, a circus, a marching band? Oh, yes. They’re all ready to pass through the gate. Can Tuborg stop them – or maybe even join them? Perhaps a little of both in this funny, touching story. You Are My Fireworks is a collection of stories that will make you smile and maybe touch your heart. I hope you will give them a try.

From USA Today Bestselling author Sybil Bartel, the page-turning, heart-stopping, bestselling Alpha Bodyguard Series is now available in a series of boxsets! Former Special Forces Military Operatives come together in this series of Alpha Bodyguards who will stop at nothing to save the women they've sworn to protect. Come meet the dominant, sexy Alpha heroes who work for Luna & Associates! THE ALPHA BODYGUARDS BOOKS 7-9 features RELENTLESS, SHAMELESS and HEARTLESS! RELENTLESS: Resourceful. Resolute. Bodyguard. A single diagnosis, and I wasn’t good enough. Not for college ball, not for my family, and not for the Marines. Medically discharged before I finished basic training, I was determined to prove myself. Landing a job as a bodyguard for the best security firm in the business was a second chance. It should’ve been my focus, but a sophisticated blonde walked through the lobby and dismissed me with a single glance. Now she was going to find out how relentless a bodyguard could be. SHAMELESS: Bodyguard. Shadow. Warrior. The Marines trained me to be a weapon, and tactical warfare was in my blood. Then a mission went south and I was medically discharged. Too many years downrange, I didn't fit in the civilian world. Becoming a bodyguard seemed like a solid plan… until I got babysitting duty for a spoiled little rich girl. The only thing worse than the assignment was the client's smart mouth. She thought she could run it—all over me—and not suffer the consequences. Now she was about to find out how shameless a bodyguard could be. HEARTLESS: Bodyguard. Sentry. Explosives expert. There was a reason I was the only Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician in the Marines who’d never sustained any injuries. I didn’t take chances, ever, but serving my country as an EOD apparently had a shelf life. Promoted off the front lines, I was given an assignment behind a desk. Instead, I took a civilian job. The security firm seemed like the better option… until a frightened client with haunted eyes lied to me about everything. Now she was going to find out how heartless a bodyguard could be.
