My Shorts


Book Description

Ranging from dark tales of vampires and serial killers to tongue-in-cheek science fiction to comedy and farce, My Shorts, by author Bert G. Osterberg, shares an eclectic collection of short stories centering on life, death, and laughter. The Option was written while Osterberg contemplated his past. High School was inspired by a plot twist in Tchaikovskys opera, The Queen of Spades, and recalls his own tortured high school career. To Amerikay calls on his love of history as told in the stories of ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Three Views shares Osterbergs political statement. Netties Triumph was penned for his granddaughter to illustrate when she was in grade school. And My Aunt Ruth tells about this feisty woman who lived in Michigan all of her life. From a suspenseful story of a dark castle in Transylvania to a fanciful encounter with a wonderfully strange fifth grade teacher, this collection of tales entertains and often challenges conventional ideas and notions.

Christine's Kilimanjaro


Book Description

A memoir of a spiritual awakening that began with a thank-you letter to God . . . For the first time, I resolved to be my own tour guide up my mountain of life. Finally believing in myself, I was forging a new path instead of plodding along the tired and worn out one I had become accustomed to, discovering something new and no longer impossible along the way. Christine Malone found herself at a crossroads in her life when she stumbled across an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show one busy, stressed-out day. There she sat transfixed before the television, not expecting that her reality in an ordinary world would ever change. She never saw it coming—that this was the day her dreams would begin to change her life forever. A beautifully written story about one woman’s quest to be the change she wishes to see in this world, Christine’s Kilimanjaro is about the spiritual awakening that took place as the author wrote out snapshots of her life, standing up to a few demons she really never faced until she began to write her memoir. Covering experiences both funny and heartbreaking, from her work as a nurse helping cancer patients to a visit to a psychic with her friends, it is a moving and poignant path to self-discovery in which she learns how to put the pains of the past behind her, embrace her present, and envision the future of her dreams.
