Delightfully Quirky Town Portrayed in Letters from Wheatfield, Published by Outskirts Press
Conrad, MT, May 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Patrick Shannon, author of the young readers’ book Viva Cisco, today announced the release of his second work, Letters from Wheatfield, also published by Outskirts Press. In his newest book Shannon provides his readers with a delightful treatment of small town quirkiness as conveyed through the letters of two transplants from Manhattan who have been assimilated and transmuted by this fictitious Montana community.
Recognizing that Montanans have a reputation for spinning tall tales, in Letters from Wheatfield Shannon treads teasingly on the tenuous line that divides those fabrications from the facts that originally inspired them. His readers will enjoy trying to determine which parts of these whimsical tales are true and which parts are purely contrived fiction.
Among their many amusing epistles about life in isolated Wheatfield, the town’s two New Yorkers relay to their cousin back home such remarkable tales as a 4H project that produces a mutant Brussels sprout, the hilarious story of a senior citizens’ outing with a group of hell-raising bikers, and the surprising “facts” behind Albert Einstein’s shocking plagiarism of a Montana boy’s work.
Letters from Wheatfield asks its readers, “What do you do if you live in a small rural town, dauntingly far from the nearest city’s amusements, and what resources do you have to spice up your existence?” The answer is not always pretty, but it is always one that will bring readers many laughs.
Letters from Wheatfield is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.
