Small Portions Cafe: A Tempting Assortment of Stories

Written by Douglas Fergus

Narrated by Douglas Fergus

Douglas Fergus wants you to be happy. And laugh. Or at least feel good knowing you’re not the only person who thinks weird is cool.

He is compelled to share his quirky/humorous/satirical outlook on life in an effort to spread joy to as many people as possible. “Every day since I was about 18, at

least two funny ideas have appeared in my head. That’s 30,660 funny ideas. It’s about darn time I wrote a book!”

Small Portions Cafe´ doesn’t just push the boundaries of normalcy, it delights in doing so.

These highlights give you a taste of what to expect in these wonderfully absurd short stories.

• The complicated world of light bulbs was too much for him.

• He ruined his new love interest with mint flavored coffee pods.

• Young, dumb, broke and hooked on credit. Will his new job as an underwear

model save him?

• Koo Koo Birdy Meadow-Johnson showed him how to gently swirl his water

counterclockwise and bless it before sipping.

• Did he really loan his only copy of a handwritten manuscript to a Radio Shack

clerk?

• Does his mother really wear combat boots?

• Why did she let him take the lawnmower on a Miami Beach vacation?

Douglas Fergus' entertaining stories will take you to another world filled with

absurd and wacky characters, situations and outrageous moments. I laughed out

loud!"

— Judith Kohin, Executive Director of Ah Haa School for the Arts

Douglas Fergus

Douglas Fergus (aka Doug) is the author of two humorous short story collections: Small Portions Cafe and Quit Honking! (I'm Pedaling as Fast as I Can).Doug and his family dwelled in in sunny California during the groovy 1960s in his hometown of Sierra Madre. His maternal grandfather was a pun and joke lover who cultivated Doug's habit of noticing the absurd and ridiculous in everyday life.Early on, Doug developed a fascination with two-wheeled vehicles and all things mechanical. It was during his four-year stretch in the US Air Force, while stationed in Alaska, he unearthed a musical passion and taught himself guitar and bass guitar. This inspired a desire to be a rock star. When he's not writing, he's likely doing handyman repairs at his home, bicycling or hiking with his wife, practicing bass guitar or cooking a delicious, healthy meal. Doug has written and recorded over 75 upbeat, quirky, fun indie rock songs under the artist name Lucky Doug Fergus. His music can be found on all digital platforms.
