    About this ebook

    This is a book about Joe's life. Rude, sentimental, and compulsively readable, this collection of crazy short stories and poems will tug at your emotions.

    Joe's love of astronomy is replaced with deadly “grown up” admirations. His buddy “Big D” uses powerful spells on his girlfriend to prove his love. Joe reveals Albert Einstein's real occupation during a family trip. His wife Mitzi does a Harley Davidson ad, while Joe learns to talk to chipmunks. Then, as things get even weirder, Joe meets Kim Basinger and teaches his friend Jane how to cook spaghetti.

    Editorial Reviews:

    "'Cup of Joe' slyly gets under your skin...as you are treated to delicious black humor, Jewish Weltschmerz, the wonders of awkward adolescent longings, and a kind of world-weary Realpolitik borne of anger and acceptance. Joe writes with a gimlet eye, weaving together harrowing medical experiences, poetic musings, historical atrocities, and a good dose of love." - Josephine Hemsing

    Josephine is the founder and managing director of Hemsing Associates, a public relations firms for internationally lauded classical musicians, ensembles, festivals, and, special projects, including visual, theatrical, and literary endeavors.

    ***

    “'Cup of Joe' is an offbeat mix of stories and poetry that smudge the line between reality and fiction. There’s a cheeky tenderness to these reminiscences and reflections on love and embarrassment and brutality as seen through the eyes of a Jewish emigré who’s had his fair share of adventure. Sometimes it’s dark and other times it’s weird, but it’s definitely never boring." - Stephen M. Tomic

    Stephen is a writer from St. Louis who's been working undercover as a teacher in Europe for the last 9 years. In addition to his fiction, poetry, and travel writing, he is also the founder and editor-in-chief of The Junction, a popular online literary publication.
