Author David Clark’s New Book, "The Lonely Dreamer," is a Captivating Series of Short Stories That Weaves Together Tales of Humor, Introspection, and Human Resilience

Eden Prairie, MN, August 06, 2024 --(PR.com)-- David Clark, who retired from his career as a mechanical engineer and writes as an avocation, has completed his new book, “The Lonely Dreamer”: a collection of short stories and free verse on an assortment of themes ranging from puppies to aviation, themes drawn from the author’s imagination and life experience.

Born in Boston and raised in Michigan, author David Clark has been living in Minnesota for nearly fifty years. He is married to Connie Fukuda-Clark, and he and Connie have two bratty but affectionate Cavalier King Charles spaniels. The author worked as an airplane pilot for many years and is now currently active as an orchestra musician.

“The short story for which the book is named is about an older man who has invented a rich fantasy life to escape the bland reality of his own mediocrity, fantasies that lurch from romance to aviation to expertise in art to movie stardom,” writes Clark. “This is interwoven with glimpses of his very ordinary life with a wife he loves but can no longer draw close to because of a lack of personal confidence that has accumulated over his many years. At the end, his frustration about his own lack of fulfillment leads him to realize that those self-doubts can be cast side.

“Other selections include a fox and a toad who work in an office and bicker across the cubicle wall, a humorous parody about specialization in business, affection for a puppy, and a harrowing story about a pilot who gets in trouble during a night flight in bad weather. Included also is a personal account about overcoming performance anxiety, and there is more.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, David Clark’s enthralling series will resonate with authenticity and wit, inviting readers to embark on a journey that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Engaging and heartfelt, “The Lonely Dreamer” promises a compelling and enriching experience, making it a must-read for anyone captivated by the myriad facets of the human spirit.
