"Silver Linings in a Mad World" is Trunks Art's Seventh Book. New Release on Amazon Now!

Columbia, South Carolina - February 18, 2025 - An excerpt from Chapter 3:

"I knew something was up. Neither Ross nor Jason had come back to the monastery, and it was nearing eight o'clock on a weeknight. Thinking they were most likely at a sports bar—an activity I heard them talking about in the backyard from time to time—I figured I'd have enough time to make and pack a lunch for the following day's 30-mile bike ride to Durham, then retreat to my room before they returned."

Back Cover:

Six true stories comprise Silver Linings in a Mad World. I specifically chose these confounding and disappointing personal events because they reflect my feelings about today's public space, where an elite ruling class forces the working slaves of America to exchange their humanity for basic needs. 

Silver Linings in a Mad World is on Amazon Books now.

But is it really fair to place all of the blame on our corrupt government, monopolizing corporations, and billionaires with more wealth than the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt? While some of us will exercise free will to rise above the dystopian gloom, others appear unaffected by it. What's their story? Are they merely robots programmed by mainstream indoctrination? Or are they simply ignorant, lost within a new America whose constitution begins with "I the Person?" That may be true for the majority, but I discovered a different reason, a silver lining that affords a fortunate few happiness, purpose, and love despite living in a mad world. 💖

Chuck Trunks lives in Columbia, South Carolina, and is surrounded by big-hearted people who inspire and encourage him to write and share his thoughts about the world we live in. This is Chuck's seventh book.

Trunks Art moved from Nampa, Idaho, to Columbia, South Carolina, in 2024 and has made this city his home and writing inspiration.

"Physics from the Heart: A Quantum Story." One of Six Books by Chuck Trunks (Trunks Art)

Columbia, South Carolina  - January 6, 2025 - An excerpt from Chapter 3: "It looks like these subatomic varmints have ol' Bill scratchin' his head!" I drawled in my best country boy accent. "It's nuts, isn't it? These individually shot electrons were either stopped by the barrier, went through the first slit, or went through the second slit like the BBs did, yet here we have the signature of a wave interference pattern instead of seeing two bands on the detector screen. Unbelieveable."

Back Cover:

What if you were lucky enough to come across something that gave you the power to rise above what we're all experiencing in these trying times? And what if you wanted to share it with the rest of the world but realized that your life-changing revelation was understandably complicated and couldn't be offered to the masses through a simple meme, sound bite, or video clip? 

Physics from the Heart: A Quantum Story is on Amazon Books now.

Physics from the Heart: A Quantum Story solves this dilemma by packaging its sentient message within a narrative that reads less like a textbook and more like a lighthearted screenplay. Not only will readers find themselves painlessly becoming closet experts on one of the most famous discoveries in all of science, but they'll also be able to connect it to the world around them, including consciousness.

Like any good movie, Physics from the Heart is relatable, entertaining, unpredictable, and even comes with a surprise ending that explains why this book will leave you feeling both empowered and happy. 💖
