Synopsis

In his fifth self-published book, Hessel writes notes about love and other using a notebook that he bought from a dollar store. Dalton put his pen to paper every morning in a small coffee shop tucked in the depths of Hayward, WI. At twenty-two years of age, there is still a lot of uncertainty in his life. When will he meet the love of his life or has he already met her? Where will he settle down and start a family? What do you do when you lose important people in your life? How do you respond to heartbreak? In this collection of short stories and small essays, Dalton uses his writings as a form of therapy to try to better understand the complexities of love and other things. He aims to try to make you believe in love again and he hopes that isn’t too much to ask.

About this title

About the Author:

Born and raised in the north woods of Wisconsin in the small tourist town of Hayward, Dalton grew up spending his days and nights at the ball field. His love for literature and writing didn’t really take hold of him until his senior year of high school. During Christmas break of his senior year, Dalton wrote his first book titled Would You Go With Me? Although he now admits that he feels like he rushed through writing his first book, the taste of writing and completing his first book was enough to hook him in. After the success of his first book and words of encouragement from the locals, Dalton wrote his second book the summer before he headed off to college titled Save Me Chicago. He was able to find the time to write most of the story in a notebook while he was at work. He worked at a pretty laid back job and held a coveted position: the bridge man at the local go-kart track. Once college began, Dalton found it a little harder to write, but he continued the process whenever he had downtime and was able to finish his third book by the end of his freshmen year titled Thoughts. Dalton put up flyers across campus and even sold his books out of the back of his car and his dorm room in Murray Hall. After taking a creative writing class taught by Professor B.J. Hollars, Dalton found out that he still had a long ways to go before he would see his name on any New York Times Best Seller lists. With the guidance of Professor Hollars and his fellow classmates, Dalton compiled a collection of short stories in which he put together his junior year titled Weird, But Cool With It. This year, Dalton will be a senior at UWEC. He is an Elementary Education major and hopes to land a teaching job somewhere in the Midwest. He deems himself a hopeful romantic who likes making breakfast for dinner, dressing up as Buddy the Elf for Finals Week, listening to records, thrift shopping (before Mackelmore), and watching Green Bay Packers football.
