"Michael Laba is a natural storyteller with comic sensibilities who offers readers a fun, often surprising, journey. You’ll feel compelled to keep reading, usually with a smile on your face and always with an amused curiosity about what might happen next.  With his quirky take on life, Michael has cultivated six separate collections of short fiction and a new compilation of true stories (also available as his first-ever audio book).  His well-received novel and playful book of poems also make for unique and enjoyable reading.  An appealing sense of humor and willingness to explore unusual themes are abundantly displayed in his songwriting as well."
