Growing Up Mostly Normal in the Middle of Nowhere
This memoir stands out as a beautifully written account of a mostly happy, mostly normal, fully real life at once both ordinary and extraordinary. Sheirer explores intensely personal experiences and relationships with humor, surprise, awe, suspense, and deep insight. With the depth of a memoir and the flow of a novel, Sheirer chronicles how his simple youth of farm, sports, school, nature, and family led him to an unlikely adulthood as an author and college professor.
Stumbling Through Adulthood
The stories in award-winning author John Sheirer's Stumbling Through Adulthood show the connections between intimate, personal experiences and the broader culture of America during recent years.

Three Million Stories
Welcome to the third instalment, book three on the journey to a million stories, but of course it is about more than just the numbers. It is about the creative spirit that has given us the drive to write, the energy to express what we think, feel or desire. This year has been a year of innovation and new ideas at millionstories.net. The 52 Shorts Challenge invited writers to respond to weekly writing prompts. As an experiment it helped some authors achieve some incredible results, with fantastic leaps of the imagination combined with terrific industry. It was devised as a way to coach writers into a regular writing habit over the course of a year. Some of these stories are right here in this collection. Within these pages you will discover commentary on the London riots, the monsoon, living with HIV, celebrity, the perils of invisibility, environmental vandalism, ghosts, monsters and a nice cup of tea.
Shut Up and Speak!
Why does your mouth suddenly go dry, your throat tighten, your face get hot, and your knees buckle when you have to address a group of people? The old story goes that more people are afraid of public speaking than they are of death. So people at a funeral would prefer to be the person in the casket than the person delivering the eulogy! Shut up and speak means that you must stop dwelling on how difficult or frightening public speaking is. Shut up and speak means that you can't become a better public speaker simply by studying communications theory or relying on public speaking folk wisdom. This book gives you the guidance to "shut up" by tuning out all of the interference that doesn't help you become a better public speaker and to "speak" by throwing yourself whole-heartedly into speech-making.
