Tales From a Roundabout

A Collection of Funny Short Stories set in Carmel, Indiana --a City Obsessed with Art, Status, and Traffic Circles!

Just when you needed a good laugh, Jeff Stanger is back with a collection of hilarious stories set in Indiana's wealthiest suburb and home to America's most roundabouts.

City Council banned a gentlemen's club from opening within the city's borders. Now, the club owner is out for revenge and he plans an outrageous spectacle in the center of one of the city's most visible roundabouts.

The public display of dancers brings the wrath of the Lakewood Estates Association Moms. And the obsession of the Lakewood Estates middle school boys!

Now the club owner and mayor are in a battle with ever-increasing stakes and outrageousness. And the boys will risk being grounded for life, just to impress a dancer twice their ages. And hiding in the shadows is a city council member with a score to settle before his time in office ends.

Fans of Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiassen will enjoy this hilarious collection.

Jeff Stanger writes humorous fiction, mysteries, and satire. His most recent work is the Tales From a Roundabout collection of stories. Each takes place in Carmel, Indiana —a city known for art, status, and traffic circles. Fans of Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen will enjoy these hilarious stories.

In addition, he has written the Quick Baseball Mystery series. Although they usually have the game of baseball as a backdrop, you don't have to be a student of the game or even a fan to enjoy them. There is enough mystery, danger, and even romance to keep you on the edge of your seat. The series follows the exploits of a rare baseball memorabilia dealer who always seems to land himself in the middle of a variety of crimes to be solved.

Stanger also wrote Trolley Dodgers which follows the Midwest college town of Bloomington, Indiana as they try to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also wrote Kansaska, a funny look back at the semi-pro minor leagues of the 1940s.

Reviews:

The Fungo Society: "Sprinkled with wit and the aura of a Philip Marlow mystery." ~Readers' Favorite

Tangled in The Web: "This is the second in the series but I did not read the first one yet. No matter. This book is absolutely hilarious and compelling, disturbing and fun-filled. No matter what, you just have to love Quick!" ~Amazon Review

Trolley Dodgers: "Trolley Dodgers is a story in which readers can’t help but root for the underdog, and it’s that quality that will keep them engaged." — ForeWord Magazine

72 Hours In Savannah: "Written with humor and a touch of mystery, these Jonathan Quick mysteries are fun to read whether one is a baseball fan or a mystery fan." ~Amazon Review

Kansaska: "Kansasaka is a really funny book! It has it all... baseball, aliens, country life, suspense and even a bit of romance! I don't know how anyone can pass up reading this fun American novel. Buy it now! =)" ~Amazon Review

Stanger lives and writes in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I've had this sitting on my Kindle for 7 months, and finally had a chance to read it, especially having lives near Carmel, Indiana. Jeff has captured the essence of Carmel, and I enjoyed the story as everyone got their just deserts.

A great spoof on small town middle America, and a "moving" tribute to "unsung" heroes! Looking forward to volume two.

Good story, entertaining characters, and hilarious plot and dialogue. Jeff Stanger delivers again. This is the second story I have read, and I am must say, I am a fan. Looking forward to reading more from him.

Reality Meets Absurdity Meets Hilarity

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2020

Jeff Stanger is a marvel. He can train his writerly lens on everyday life in an affluent mega-suburb and find extraordinary humor lurking. Even more, he manages to find humanity amongst the insanity -- in a "roundabout" way, of course. If you want to laugh (a LOT), hitch a ride with Stanger to the Midwest roundabout capitol of the world. You might just fall in love with the quirky characters, but you'll most certainly fall in love with Stanger's even quirkier view of the absurdity running amok in suburbia. ~~ Bob Chenoweth, author of Naked as a Jaybird at the Moon-Your-Mama Bar & Grill

Tales from a roundabout sounded like my drive to and from work. Using the roads in the book. Always fun when you can imagine the places described.
A fun easy read, perfect gift for those from the area.
Perhaps future installments: Tales from a GOAT farm, Bub's and buddy's or It happened on a Monon trail...

The pretence of suburban high society is dispelled in this hilarious short by Jeff Stanger. His writing style is a cross between Carl Hiassen and Tim Dorsey and the twists and turns of this Carmel, Indiana roundabout escapade do not disappoint. Under the facade of highfaluti Read full review
