Ten Funny Stories – A Feel-Good eBook and Audiobook

Why I Wrote This Book

I’ve always believed that humor is more than just entertainment — it's medicine. And not the kind that comes in a pill bottle or requires a prescription. I’m talking about the kind of healing that comes from laughing so hard your stomach hurts, or chuckling to yourself in the middle of the day because something absurd reminded you that life isn’t all that serious after all. Ten Funny Stories was born from that belief.

It’s a collection of stories that pull from the odd, strange, ridiculous — and very human — moments of life. Some are inspired by real things I’ve witnessed or experienced. Others are purely fictional... but not far off from reality. And all of them are grounded in one goal: to make you feel better than you did before reading or listening.


What You’ll Find Inside

Each story in this collection stands alone, which means you can read (or listen) in any order. They’re short, fast-paced, and full of unexpected twists. Whether you only have ten minutes between meetings or you’re curled up on the couch for the evening, Ten Funny Stories is meant to fit your life — not disrupt it.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll meet inside:

  • A fortune teller who didn’t see her own disaster coming.
  • A man dating twelve women at once... with zero self-awareness.
  • A chaotic political campaign that might hit a little too close to home.
  • A woman chasing love through dating apps, and facing every possible frustration.
  • Three fake prophets trying to launch their own church (and brand).
  • And other funny stories...

But these aren’t just jokes on paper. They’re layered with themes of identity, ego, love, pride, and sometimes even tenderness — because I think the best kind of comedy is the kind that also makes you think.


Why Humor Matters (Especially Now)

Let’s face it: the world is a heavy place these days. Every time we scroll, turn on the TV, or even talk to friends, we’re reminded of how much is going wrong. And sometimes, in that chaos, we forget that joy is still an act of resistance. Laughter is still healing. Lightness is still necessary. That’s why this book exists. Not just to entertain you — but to remind you that it’s okay to laugh, even when everything feels complicated. Especially when it feels complicated.


The Experience You Choose: eBook or Audiobook

To make this book as accessible and flexible as possible, I decided to offer it in two formats:

eBook

  • Instant PDF or ePub download
  • Read on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, or e-reader
  • Lightweight, portable, and yours forever

Great for readers who like to take their time, highlight lines, or laugh quietly in bed before sleeping.

Audiobook

  • Full-length recording of all ten stories
  • Delivered as individual MP3s
  • Play on any device: phone, computer, or tablet
  • Perfect for walks, drives, workouts, or cooking

If you love hearing stories told out loud — or if you just need a break from screens — the audiobook version brings the humor to life in a whole new way.


What People Are Saying

Since releasing Ten Funny Stories, I’ve received some heartwarming messages:

“I started laughing during story two and didn’t stop until the end. Thank you for this escape.”

“It made me laugh… and weirdly, it also made me reflect. That’s rare in short stories.”

“Downloaded it while feeling heavy. Left the audiobook playing while cleaning the house — and suddenly I was dancing.”

If a few pages or a few minutes of audio can shift someone’s energy — even for a moment — then I’ve done my job.
