Mike Sajovie has been writing short fiction, prose and essays for nearly 20 years, most of which gets tossed in a box inside the closet of his home office. He has built quite a collection of manuscripts – each un-queried, in limbo. A handful of these stories were published as articles in neighborhood weeklies and were received quite favorably by readers. In his first book, Sleigh Bells and Muckrakers, he dusts off 3 of these short stories and makes them available to you.

“The Christmas of 1998” shows how one family uses the power of imagination to have the best Christmas ever. Set in Cleveland, and on some rooftops in Parma, the Slovics spend a Christmas Eve they will never forget. And they discover along the way that it truly is the little things in life that matter.

“Snodgrass” is the story of a muckraker who roamed baseball diamonds and wrote about corruption, years before the term muckraker even existed. Wit, humor and sarcasm load the bases in this story. But can Snodgrass hit a grand slam with the most beloved player in the game? When he decides to meddle in the affairs of Casey (yes, that Casey) he discovers that not everyone can be bought.

“South Newburg” is a heart-warming story about a young man who is facing some tough challenges. Philip lives in South Newburg, a rust belt city with high unemployment and a school levy on the ballot. He has big dreams. But will his emotions and ideologies, both of which are shaped by financial conditions at home, stand in the way of him finding happiness?
If you like short stories, and you want to read something by a writer who has fun taking his work seriously, Sleigh Bells and Muckrakers is the eBook for you.
