Kindle Nation Bargain Book Alert: The Engaging Fiction of Christopher Meeks, Starting at Just 99 Cents Each!

 

While literary is a broad genre, Christopher Meeks has created his own niche, one that mixes humor and literary depth. Amazon Top-Ten reviewer Grady Harp says Meeks is a “master craftsman.” Meeks’s two novels are now just 99 cents. Try the following:
Just published, Love At Absolute Zero is about a physicist, 32-year-old Gunnar Gunderson, who tries to apply the tools of science to finding a soul mate—in three days. Chaos occurs. Red Adept Reviews says, “The author hit a home run. It’s a very good story, very well told.”

“It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson,” says Sam Sattler of Book Chase. “As he progresses from one disaster or near miss to the next, one views him with a mixture of compassion and laughter, but he is such a good-hearted young man that it is impossible not to root for him.”
Also 99 cents, The Brightest Moon of the Century  follows Edward, a young Minnesotan, who is blessed with an abundance of “experience”—first when his mother dies and next when his father, an encyclopedia salesman, shoehorns Edward into a private boys school where he’s tortured and groomed.

Marc Schuster of Small Press Reviews said, “Meeks has come out with a stunning debut novel, and I have to say that I’ve gone from being an admirer of his work to a full-blown fan—bordering on, perhaps, groupie.”

Cherie Parker in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune says, “Minnesota native Christopher Meeks chronicles one man’s path to middle age and, in doing so, illustrates how choices and circumstances … have a way of irrevocably cementing a person’s future.”

SHORT STORY COLLECTIONS AND PLAY
Short fiction is where Meeks first appeared on the literary radar. Critic Grady Harp, who has reviewed all five of Meeks’ books in depth, cites that what Meeks does is that he has “the technical virtuosity of creating characters in a minimum of space and then unfold those characters in response to the movement of the landscape.” He says, “He is likely to continue on his climb to one of America’s more important writers this decade.” Try these:
The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea [ASIN: B002K2RI1A] is a story collection about love, death, humor, and the glue called family. “So stunning…that I could not help but move on to the next story,” said Entertainment Weekly.
Months and Seasons [ASIN: B002K2RRQ6] was a finalist in the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award for best collection. “With this collection, Christopher Meeks proves there is an audience for short stories,” said Gary Roen of the Midwest Book Review.
Who Lives?: A Drama [ASIN: B0030IM61A] has been produced twice in Los Angeles, and its last production was nominated for five prestigious Ovation Awards. The play chronicles the tough choices of who gets to live after the kidney dialysis machine was brought out in the sixties. Los Angeles Times theatre critic David C. Nichols said, “Those who have personal experience with its topic should perhaps bring Kleenex.”
