About the Book

"Four Scoops" Is Over The Top is a collection of 36 original, entertaining short stories and poems. It's the third in the "Scoops" series and combines the best elements of its forerunners, "Two Scoops" Is Just Right and "Three Scoops" Is A Blast! These tales, which deal with relationships and all of the quirks and oddities that bind humanity together, skip around in time and location and even verge into elements of fantasy and the make-believe. The intent is to be entertaining in every paragraph and deliver pure enjoyment and surprises to the reader.
About the Author: In early 2008, I was asked by my employer to start writing an economics blog. I approached this with considerable trepidation, worrying whether I would have enough material and if I could do it justice. I quickly found I had no shortage of ideas and that I rather enjoyed the experience. So much, in fact, I began to branch out with humorous lifestyle articles I was composing on the weekends and at night, for fun. I posted these pieces on my personal blog site, "www.alexcarrick.com", then published an anthology in my first book, "Two Scoops" Is Just Right. My second book, "Three Scoops" Is A Blast! followed shortly thereafter. It branches off into somewhat longer and more literary pieces. These wander through time and space or consist of made-up conversations that take amusing, ironic or unexpected turns. Four Scoops strives to combine the best elements of its forerunners. There is one minor change to note. The stories in Two and Three Scoops are presented sequentially according to when they were written. To strike a balance between narrative pieces, poetry and flat-out humor, I've taken liberties with the time line in Four Scoops. My stories have also been rearranged in a Ten Tales series of e-books. Each of these deals with a specific theme. There are six volumes so far - Tilted Love, Spotty Ruin, Family Glue, Frothy Play, People Dear and Sunny Lift - with plans for more to come. It's been an enjoyable ride trailing my characters to see where they would lead me. Here's hoping you enjoy the journey as well.
