    The Funny Thing Is... Series

    By Holly Schindler

    ()

    About this series

    Once upon a time, in a land far, far away…

     

    you were a child. And fairy tales were delightful stories that insisted life wasn't scary and overwhelming, but magical and sweet. Oh, there were happy endings galore—not to mention plenty of helpful godmothers and wands locked and loaded with life-changing sparkles.

     

    Come on—admit it! That was pretty great.

     

    Now, you're an adult. And let's admit this: adulthood isn't quite as swell as you'd once hoped it would be.

     

    What if you could explore this (ahem) more mature era of life through the same rose-tinted magical lens of a fairy tale?

     

    Once Upon a Punchline is a humorous collection of stories—a little bit parody, a little bit fable, a little bit allegory—and a whole lot of laughs, all aimed at poking fun at the silliness in this era of life called…

     

    adulthood.

      Cross paths. Bump into. Encounter. Come face-to-face. Three cheers for the happy accident!   Oftentimes, the very best part of a story is the section in which the characters meet. The initial spark. The twists of fate. The you'll never believe what happened to me todays. That's what you'll find here: a delightful array of characters—young and old and in-between—meeting for the first time in the most unexpected ways. Six light, humorous, sweet tales of how they came into one another's lives. When you're through, you'll find yourself feeling glad to have spent time with them. Yes, you'll think, thumbing back through the pages, funny meeting them here.   Silly and short, a quick read to chuckle through.

      All They Needed Was a Little Luck   It's a story just itching to be told—and you're going to hear it. What choice do you have, really? Your car's overheated, and you're fortunate enough to have coasted in here—Lucky Lou's Earnest Service, an ancient filling station off the highway. Bill, the mechanic, wants to tell you all about the day nearly a year ago—the day of the big lottery draw. A day when the unluckiest bunch of folks you ever did meet may very well have seen their luck turn around… A sweet, short read to chuckle through.
