CRASH COURSE is a collection of very short stories that explore everchanging human situations and emotions including introspection, tragedy, comedy, relational struggles, familial connections, and a few baseball tales. Also included are stories highlighting the unique pain and grace of the COVID pandemic.
CRASH COURSE will appeal to those looking for short stories, with punch, a hook, a twist, and maybe a surprise ending.
Jim Schmotzer is the type of gifted storyteller who can capture with succinct beauty the textured cadences of humble lives lived vibrantly and soulfully. Reading Crash Course feels like sitting around the kitchen table with old friends late into a summer night.
