"Wry, wise, and full of heart. Amato's collection is a master class in short story fiction." -Niamh McAnally, author of Following Sunshine
When ordinary lives meet extraordinary moments, magic happens.
Take a journey through An Author's Dozen where vivid characters share their compelling adventures. Each of the thirteen tales offers a unique glimpse into the human experience, making the collection a treasure trove for anyone who loves the art of storytelling.
Fall in love with Ralph, a far-ahead-of-her-time woman, who broke the rules to succeed in a man's world. Her story inspires those who dare to defy conventions and carve their own paths. Ponder the power of love from a man as he navigates a busy market in Sicily. Driven by the echoes of his heart, he refuses to forget the past. Delve into the dark surrealism of a woman's obsession with a mysterious painting, revealing an unsettling truth within the canvas. Marvel over one man's understanding of life after death as it challenges perceptions of mortality and what lies beyond the final breath. These stories and others will resonate long after you finish reading.
Offering a taste of various genres and themes, Christopher Amato is back with this literary feast, a celebration of the enduring power of the short story.

About the Author
Amato, Christopher: - Since he was a child, Christopher Amato dreamed of working in law enforcement. After earning a degree with honors in criminology from Florida State University, he began working as a federal agent. Upon retirement, he pursued another longstanding dream, turning his attention to writing. His first two books are crime thrillers, followed by his collection of short stories. Christopher is married, a proud father of three sons, and a grandfather to two teenage boys. He and his wife currently reside in North Carolina, but they lived in Italy for almost a decade, traveling around Europe house and pet sitting, having a blast and learning how people in the world live. He makes a to-die-for vegetarian chili from his own recipe and is known for his quiches.
