Funny Locations: Collected Stories

A road trip to Las Vegas can become otherworldly for an exasperated son dealing with his dad's unusual plans.

Librarians coping with everything from angels making the oddest demands to dealing with exceptionally ruthless book thieves in a chase criss-crossing the nation.

Writers chasing after fictional muses across the globe. A young girl fleeing from her family in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. A half-asleep shopper looking for a last-minute birthday gift.

And of course, far too many stories happening in the Sunshine State where weirdness is a way of life.

Short story writer Paul Wartenberg gathers a wide range across three decades of his best writings in this collection - including the award-winning "Fifth Annual Office Golf Showdown" - with enough humor and wit to entertain readers for at least (checks watch) three hours or so.
