Voted Off the Crew

by Leif Gregersen

This is a collection of short stories based in and around the desolate and delicate space called Alberta. This province doesn't just hold a unique manifestation of plant and animal life, it also is home to a special kind of human being, one used to blistering cold, driving hail, desperation, and at times inspiration.

175 pages, Paperback

About the author

I am currently working hard on getting my latest short story collection "Voted Off the Crew" into print. What excites me about this book is that it tells so many key stories of my own life growing up in this amazing place called Alberta.

I was born in a small city that was full of life and opportunities to find happiness. I had a lot of love in my family, my parents were good to me, though as I grew older I started to slowly develop manic depression/Bipolar Disorder. If you don't know what bipolar is, just go back a while and look at Charlie Sheen. You can recover from an illness like bipolar, but it takes time, care, support and medication. I wrote my book, "Through The Withering Storm" to help people to understand more about my illness and maybe get some help themselves or for a person they care about. I also maintain a blog where I talk about mental health issues which can be found below

The publication date of this book is a while off, though the book is complete. It contains a selection of my stories ranging from grim to adventurous, all set in or near the parts of North America I grew up in. It is my hope to tell fictional stories that recount the spirit and the soul of the beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking realities of life. Alberta, the province I come from, has such unique and diverse natural habitats, from the massive national parks to the city of a million people all dependent on oil and gas to keep the wheels of the economy turning.

Good News! The book is now complete and available for purchase on Amazon! I am so excited about the stories in it, they are some of my finest. Check out the new cover photo which won't make sense until you read the second story in the book.

STORIES FROM THE HEART: With a clear sense of place, authentic dialogue and an obvious soft spot in his heart for the underdog, Leif Gregersen writes with conviction about relatably flawed everyday working people who ultimately prove themselves worthy of redemption.
