A Slide on the Bus

A sweet tater lady, apocalyptic preachers, wise women, and down-to-earth men come to life in author Bob Covert's riveting short story collection. With most tales designed to be read in three to five minutes, you always have time to sit down for a good laugh or a little insight into life's most precious moments. Covert captures the joy, acceptance, sorrow, exuberance, and unbelievable humor of everyday life as he muses on growing up, blue collar work, education, moonlighting, and family.

Some topics reflect Covert's viewpoint, while others are simply meant to provide some much needed laughs. Either way, no one forgets a good story-and Covert's got plenty

A SLIDE ON THE BUS builds upon the best stories from the present, reaching back to a period baby boomers might have heard about, but don't remember. They evoke images of a cozy fireplace, a friendly storyteller, a glass of wine, and good company. At times funny, poignant, or pensive, these short takes will stay with you.
