About the event
Local Author Juan Alemán II to Promote New Short Story Collection
Local author Juan Alemán II will be promoting his new collection of short stories, titled “Divergent Lives of No Consequence.” This book explores a variety of lives, attitudes, and relationships, showcasing a powerful passion for realism in writing. Each story features a lead character in search of assistance, taking unexpected turns along the way. While not every tale concludes with a happy ending, it reflects the complexities of life.
Juan Alemán II is a poet, writer, and producer. He is from Texas and in his life has been a father, husband, soldier, and actor. Juan has self-published two books, his first was a children’s book titled, “We’re All Broken.” A story of realizing that no matter how perfect, happy, or beautiful someone may be; there is always that thing that eats at the façade. No one in life is perfect and at times we all feel broken.
His current book, “Divergent Lives of No Consequence: Short Stories” is a much more adult take on the struggles of harsh home environments, battles with PTSD and other mental health issues, and a fear of a bleak future.
Some of Juan’s outside interests are disabled veterans’ organizations, youth reading programs, and mental health awareness.
“The need to excel begins with the confidence to know that you can.”
