Mental Dimensions is a collection of child-friendly short stories and flash fiction, but can also be enjoyed by playful grown-ups. A few of these tales are plain fiction, containing no magic or mystical properties; others resemble family-friendly fairy tales, fables, or parables; some touch very lightly upon meditation concepts, others touch softly upon isolation, loneliness, and suicide; some are satirical and humorous, a little dry at times, while others may be thought-provoking; some may touch your heart, but only with a gentle kiss or a calm breeze, completely free of poison and malice.
Andrew G. Alt received his GED from the state of Minnesota when he was only 19 years old. In 2014 he published his first book, Mental Dimensions: Tales of Fantasy for a New Generation (a revised edition was issued in 2023). Since its release, under five billion copies have been sold worldwide, a number which is expected to double every year, until his unexpected death in 2038. Andrew and his book have been mentioned thousands of times in every major newspaper (although the individual letters of his name and book have never been used together or in sequence). He's never been indicted on charges of employing an organized crime family to market his book, nor has any evidence yet been found that would lead to a successful conviction. Even Andrew's detractors have compared him to notable authors such as Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and Stephen King: "He's not nearly as talented as those three, and never will be." It's been predicted that he'll receive a Pulitzer Prize for Literature, and ever since his mother made that prediction, she's never recanted. When asked about her son's book she often replied, "It's good enough to read to my grandchildren; they typically fall asleep after the first few paragraphs. I absolutely believe that Andrew G. Alt should write more books that make children stop crying, or at least take these darn kids off my hands for a few hours!"
I love the variety of conflict, comedy, family, science fiction, fiction, and heartfelt short tales. The large print is a plus! The cover is pretty too!
