Description



Book Synopsis



"An effin good story!" -- Thomas Cole, author of Collaborative Crisis Management: Prepare, Execute, Recover, Repeat

"The stories in Capers and Switcheroos are wistful, idiosyncratic and nostalgic and an excellent antidote to a mad world." -- David Ellis, author of Resolution and Other Stories

---

A delightfully entertaining collection of stories spanning the 1950s to the 2000s, filled with meaning, humor, charm, and many surprises along the way.

With his debut short story collection, Capers and Switcheroos, Chip Cater writes with satire, humor, and heart, bringing places to life with adventures in New Jersey, escapades in Alabama, summers in Wellfleet on Cape Cod, business in the South, career mistakes in Boston, trips to Aruba, London, Vietnam, and a second home in Barbados.

Readers are in for a treat with boyhood capers in "Chestnut Street," "The Krimpet Caper," and "Chenango and Otsego," featuring a sailing battle between the boys' and girls' camps with unexpected results.

Finally, "Red M&M's," "Saved by the Belle," "Snake Pit," and "Switcheroo" include a business context, interspersed with the usual shenanigans and capers that occur in the workplace with fellow employees and customers.

More praise for Capers and Switcheroos:

"Chip Cater's Capers and Switcheroos offers a delightful blend of wit, nostalgia, and sharp observations on the human experience. The writing is simple and straightforward, using wonderful descriptions and clever storylines to drive the tales." - Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite

"Capers and Switcheroos is a quietly moving piece, a comforting blanket of a short story collection." - Eric Mayrhofer for Independent Book Review

"Embedded in these whimsical, humorous moments is a thorough immersion in and appreciation for life which follows Cater through a wealth of enjoyable times and relationships." - Midwest Book Review
