Beschreibung

Larry Sceurman's second book, Coffee in the Morning, presents a collection of nostalgic short stories celebrating 20th century Americana, capturing the hopes, dreams and fears of multiple generations and different life circumstances. Similar to his first book, The Death of Big Butch, this carefully curated collection blends his experiences as observer first and storyteller second.These sixteen stories weave from the backyard into diners and into forests, capture the other-worldliness of fairy tales and the grittiness of misfortune. So visit the general store to discover the hero, explore perspective from the pawnbroker shop, pay your parking tickets, sleep beside the Jersey Devil, and never underestimate the power of a good Pennsylvania Dutch pie.

Larry Sceurman believes we all have metamorphoses throughout our lives, changes that occur from within us. Larry's journey starts while growing up in the Kaywin section of Bethlehem, Pa., where he struggled in school (especially with reading). As a teen, he worked in his grandfather's auto body repair shop. While in the shop, he realized that working with his hands and using his imagination to solve problems came easily for him. In his mid-20s, he became a vocational education instructor. That experience taught him that story is a great asset in education. That inspired his evolution into a master oral storyteller. Through teaching and storytelling, Larry realized that his dyslexia was a gift and not a burden. Being dyslexic honed his listening skills. One has to be a good listener to be a good storyteller. Larry took his storytelling skills to the pen and paper and with the encouragement of his lovely wife, Barbara. From teacher to storyteller then writer to published author of nostalgic fiction, Larry now embarks on a new endeavor, releasing his first children's book, Bookworms Magical Journey. Larry has completed another metamorphosis in his life.
