Moonshadows: 12 Nostalgic Snapshots of Life

by Ted Atoka

This is a collection of 12 nostalgic short stories, each reflecting a snapshot of life. You'll find nothing here about death, dying, science fiction, horror, or history. You will see tales about: a flummoxed museum patron, a working gate, a business “on the quiet,” a flatulent goat, a beach cottage, a pain in the hind end, a man's blazer, a misleading hotel bill, a protective chicken, bad breath, and outliving retirement income.

These yarns highlight glimpses into everyday life, as it occurred, between 1955 and 2013. The characters are like the ones you may have known in school, passed by in a shopping mall, or chatted with in a coffee shop. These are stories about people, folks we never seem to notice until we look back and remember them. And by golly, there’s humor in these memories too.

This is a book readers of all ages may enjoy. Young people to learn what life was all about when their grandparents were young, and older readers to bring back fond memories of years gone by. 12 short stories guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The author has done an amazing job of telling the story as it should be told, with accuracy and feeling. I highly recommend this story.

Another volume of Ted Atoka's shorter works. Excellent, smooth, and gentle, but with deeper implications about everyday life.
