Nick Nwaogu, the author of the romantic suspense novel, "The Almost Kiss," last month, released his second book and first short story collection, titled "Odd Family Out." In "Odd Family Out," Nwaogu tells over a score of short-stories about his unusually odd family, using twenty-five chapters to introduce twenty-five fictional family members with contrasting personalities, including a fictional version of himself.
According to the Author's Note on Amazon, the book is "a collection of twenty-five short stories" written by Nwaogu "during the last months of 2015 and the early months of 2016." "Odd Family Out" tells the stories of how an extended family, individually, pursued happiness in their own way. The books leaves its readers with unanswered questions, and lets them tell the rest of the story in their own words. The paperback edition is available for $6.99, while the hardcover and e-book are available for $29.99 and $0.99 respectively. "Odd Family Out" starts with the introduction of the writer's mother. "I always knew I came from a very odd family. There was mother - too short, too old-fashion, too simple, and too intelligent for a woman with no University education." He goes on to introduce himself in the following chapter. "And there was me - too short that I had to stand in the front row of every family photograph."Videos
