Hello everyone. I plan to publish a book of father-stories written by guest authors in time for this year’s Father’s Day, June 21 (just 7 short weeks away).
In order to pull this little literary feat off, I need to receive at least 15 encouraging, heartwarming, uplifting stories about fatherhood FROM YOU, by June 1st.
SO HERE’S THE CHALLENGE: I need you to sit out 1 Red Sox game on TV, or say no to 1 round of golf, or (ladies) gracefully bow out of 1 luncheon with your friends, or (young people) skip 1 movie, or…you get the idea, and sit down and bang out a 400 – 800 word story that will bring cheer to families everywhere. This year’s theme is:
My father, my children, my friends
A celebration of the delights of togetherness
So take that theme and run with it!
- Dads, tell me a story about figuring out how to be friends with your own kid
- Moms, tell me a story about being with your dad or watching your husband do something wonderful with one of your children
- Kids, tell me some great adventure that you went on with your dad that you will never forget
- Everyone, tell us a story about a great dad going out of his way to be his kid’s BFF
So, start writing and then submit your story here.
And when I get 15 good ones I’ll start putting the book together.
And if I get more than 15, well that will just be awesome!!!
And if you have a photo to go with your story, send it to me at speterlewis@gmail.com.

And if you need even more motivation, read the first book in the series, the exploding cat book.
Now…START WRITING! 😀
