Reading novels is often not a priority in today's busy world. However, one can easily read and engage in short stories. The problem is they are not readily available; hence, Bedtime Stories for Grownups, Volume 1.

Taken from multiple genres, these are imaginative stories for almost every reader. One story revolves around a mystical cruise, where a widower encounters a mysterious woman while on a cruise. Another story in the 19th century is about a widow and her son. While hunting, the son meets a man who isn't what he appears to be. Then there is a story of a precocious little girl who has a monster under her bed or a story of a southern nursing home that uses AR/VR to keep its residents engaged.

So, turn down your bedside light, snuggle down in your bed, grab this book, and get ready to be engaged with these wonderful stories.

Webster (Russ) Russell and Dee Coffeen are well known authors of both fiction and nonfiction books.

To date they have written seven books; however, they are best known for their multi-genre book of short stories, "Bedtime Stories for Grownups."

Even as "seniors," they lead an active life of writing, cruising, photography, and being with friends and family. They have been around the world three times, stepped on all seven continents (or eight if you count Zealandia), and visited over 95 countries.

If writing books and cruising were not enough to keep these two busy, they also author a cruising blog website, a NextDoor cruising page, and create photo journals and videos of their world travels.

If you were to meet many people throughout the world who know these two, they will tell you that they are fun, creative, and curious-all great attributes of successful authors.
