Playwright, Novelist, Speaker

Fluttering through the pages of this book is a humble miller moth. Its ubiquitous but subliminal presence linking tales of ordinary people in ordinary situations -- all made extraordinary by the unbounded imagination of a master story spinner, Mike Broemmel.

In this magnificent collection, you will meet your family, your friends, your neighbors ... and even yourself ... mirrored in stories of hope and of desperation, of love and of tragedy.

Broemmel offers no-frills reality on a platter with characters so believable you almost expect them to walk through the door to borrow your daily paper.

Simplicity and intricacy combine in this anthology to leave you feeling you may have just discovered "the 21st century's answer to John Steinbeck at his most nitty-gritty."
