Gary Paul Bryant Releases 'The Thin Book of Fat Lies'

"The Thin Book of Fat Lies" (ISBN-10: 1492857815) is part childhood autobiography, part unbridled imagination- "The Thin Book of Fat Lies" is a seriously funny and imaginative collage of debatable truths and fiction from composer and writer Gary Paul Bryant. While none of these eight short stories compares to a Greek tragedy, the author delivers where it counts- humor.

In 'Stall' the reader explores a typical day at the end of time. In 'The Phone' Quigley Smith discovers his own childhood family phone at a local antique store and gets a startling surprise when he makes his first call. Drawing on Bryant's own childhood experience, 'Spaceships' shows us what can happen when we try to emulate our rocket-driving heroes.

Gleason Snickell shows us what life is really all about in 'Gleason Snickell and the Search for Love' and 'The Bitter Climb' finds an unhappy young man getting some important choices made for him. 'The Fourth Grade: My First Oral Report' would make Twain's Huck Finn smile, and Robert Levenplatter gets to live just a bit longer in Awkward: The First Resurrection of Robert Levenplatter. Finally, the Bryant's first foray into short fiction, 'The First Ride: The Real Story of Santa Claus,' rounds out the collection.

An award-winning composer with more than two hundred published songs, Gary's 'blue-collar' songwriting has placed his music in thousands of YouTube videos while his fiction writing continues to intrigue and entertain readers the world over.
