New Release - Real Life Shorts

Step into a collection of unforgettable short stories—where humor collides with danger, and mystery walks hand in hand with faith. Within these pages, ordinary lives meet extraordinary moments. Each tale weaves together raw human experience, Southern grit, and divine intervention in ways that will make you laugh, reflect, and sometimes catch your breath.

This is not your typical collection of lighthearted anecdotes or predictable morality tales. It’s a journey through the unexpected—a vivid blend of real-life encounters, near misses, and moments when the line between heaven and earth feels paper thin. You’ll meet characters who are both flawed and faithful, mischievous and merciful, struggling to find purpose in a world that often feels wild and untamed.

From laugh-out-loud stories of ant bites and alligator run-ins to the intense spiritual warfare against witches and the unseen forces of darkness, these stories move effortlessly between humor and seriousness, always grounded in the truth that faith is often forged in the fires of experience. Some stories may leave you smiling, others may leave you thinking long after you’ve turned the page—but each one reflects a slice of real life that feels authentic, heartfelt, and alive.

At times, the setting shifts deep into the heart of the South—where the air is thick with humidity, the food is spiced with love and tradition, and the people are as complex as the land they come from. You’ll encounter family gatherings that mix laughter and chaos, church services filled with old hymns and heartfelt prayers, and small towns where everyone knows everyone’s story—whether they want them to or not. These are stories of a region steeped in tradition, yet still haunted by its own ghosts—wars, convicts, and the lingering memories of hard lessons learned the rough way.

But make no mistake—this isn’t a collection that stays stuck in nostalgia. It’s alive with movement and emotion, anchored by faith but unafraid to face darkness head-on. You’ll walk beside men and women who’ve stood on both sides of the law, who’ve fallen hard and gotten back up again by grace alone. You’ll feel the grit of the road under their feet, the sting of bad decisions, and the quiet strength that comes from prayer in desperate moments.

In one story, a man’s casual run-in with nature turns into a battle of wits and survival—with humor tucked between the lines. In another, a desperate prayer becomes the turning point that breaks the chains of addiction and restores a sense of peace once thought lost forever. Elsewhere, a simple drive down a lonely highway reveals the bizarre and sometimes unsettling beauty of people living on the edge of faith and reason.

Every page captures the duality of life itself—how joy and struggle, laughter and tears, often arrive hand in hand. The stories don’t shy away from the hard stuff: poverty, prison, betrayal, loss, or the gritty underbelly of human weakness. Yet even in those shadows, there’s always a glimmer of hope—because redemption, even when it comes late, is still redemption.

What makes this collection stand out is its voice—unfiltered, genuine, and deeply human. It’s the voice of someone who has seen both sides of life: comfort and hardship, success and despair,
