Get Reading, Guys!
Struggling to find something to read? Written specifically for boys in the throes of adolescence, Gregg Emmel's new collection of short stories gives a glimpse into the challenges and changes every guy faces growing up. Centered around the author's own trials and lacerations of journeying into adulthood, Fights 'N' Stitches compiles rough and tumble tales full of blood, sweat, and true grit.
For far too long, libraries and bookstores have kept it too PG on the shelves. Not only are there fewer options for teenage guys to choose from, but a bunch of those book options are also just not relatable—or worse, plain boring! Gregg Emmel wrangles up some of his most preposterous memories as a wild youngin’ just trying to make it through adolescence.
Today, as a father himself, he appreciates the many lessons he learned in his own unique way. In Fights ‘N’ Stitches, he offers his experiences up to the world so that others may learn the same—maybe without a black eye or two, or getting to know the local emergency room staff like he did. Or at the very least, give guys something cool to read that’s both entertaining and relatable.
Don’t wait to go read a book, man.

“When I read your book, I was visualizing the fights and thought, I should never do this!”

“In this world, where the history was made from men fighting wars, humans are still always finding a need for conflict. The need for peace is always a hard lesson learned by humans, and happens usually during our youngest years. In Fights 'n Stitches, Emmel touches on this topic with wit and grace, acting as a commentator to his adolescent life in Wisconsin. Scraps and grapples with neighborhood kids have true meaning - for the silliest reasons. Profound life lessons are learned when the events are summed up in Emmel's signature comedic manner. A great ride!”
