Life in Stories is a deeply human collection of fiction, lyrics, and novel excerpts that traces the arc of life—moving through youth and age, humor and tragedy, love and loss. From the beaches of Rio to the soccer fields of New Jersey, from the Roman conquest at Alesia to the American West of the 19th century, these stories explore athletes chasing vanished glory, lovers trying to find their way back to each other, ordinary people facing extraordinary moral choices, and moments of quiet reflection that define who we become.

Each piece is introduced by the author with a personal reflection on its inspiration, meaning, and place in his own life, offering readers rare insight into both the story and the storyteller. Honest, intimate, and emotionally resonant, this collection invites readers to experience not just the stories themselves, but the life behind them.
