     JOY ROBBERS
          (completed; release TBD)

         The inspirational novel motivates readers to chase their dreams while they navigate life’s daily challenges.

          Fun-to-read stories feature fictional characters, men and women of all races, who demonstrate strategies to live a more meaningful, joyful life.

         Each chapter features new characters and new “plots.” Some topics are simple concepts that propagate joy while other chapters tackle more complex social issues during a time society thirsts for uplifting messages.

          Entertaining stories force readers to examine their core beliefs. The target audience is YA readers transitioning to adulthood, but the overriding theme applies to everyone. Discussion-starting stories also are ideal for women’s book clubs, the type of book a group discusses two or three chapters a week.

           Whether a person is rich or poor, a common man or famous, shouldn’t everyone strive to collect as many joyful memories as possible. Mike’s goal is some of the exemplary role models in JOY ROBBERS inspire readers to focus on unity and kindness which will enable them to live a happier, joyful life.

       —-  Excerpt from “DON’T LET THEM ROB YOUR JOY” —-

      Joy is valuable, so valuable it should be treated like a priceless jewel. Joy can be found in countless forms whether it’s skydiving for the first time, witnessing our child being born, or receiving a promotion at work.

        The daily challenge is keeping our joy meters at a high level while we deal with life’s inevitable circumstances and people who trample our joy.

         Definitions of joy describe an emotion worthy of pursuing with passion.

  • “A feeling of great happiness.”
  • “Success in doing or obtaining something.”
  • “The emotion evoked by well-being, success or good fortune.”
