Perfect for short reading sessions - three unforgettable stories designed to fit a commute.
Read Your Commute: Collection 1 delivers three witty, warmly written short stories packed with heart, humor, and just enough surprise to make the ride feel short.
The Funeral of Sterling Ravenbarrow - When Brentworth MacTherm misses his flight to Belize after learning his college best friend has died, he braces for a somber farewell. What he gets is something far more Sterling: a funeral full of strangers, wild eulogies, a suspiciously silent driver, and a twist that redefines the word goodbye. A story about friendship, loyalty, and the beautiful chaos that follows certain people through life.
The Adventure of Archibald Brentweller - Archibald is a bald, odd, square-peg fifth grader who doesn't quite belong - until one ordinary night, the universe freezes, the fish tank stops bubbling, and two very unusual visitors reveal that being different was never a flaw. A charming, imaginative tale that will resonate with anyone who ever felt like they were from a different box entirely.
Pemblington Cheeseworth - Behind the walls of an ordinary house, an extraordinary mouse has a vision: stop surviving on crumbs and feast. Against the warnings of his battle-scarred elders, Pemblington leads a daring expedition with a handmade bow, toothpick arrows, and the unshakeable conviction that bold mice eat cheese. A rousing little adventure story told with wit and surprising warmth.
Perfect for: commuters, lunch breaks, waiting rooms, or anyone who wants a great story that respects their time.
