Nampa, Idaho - September 25, 2025 - LATEST BOOK (no. 8) by Chuck Trunks (Trunks Art):

Back Cover:

If you’re struggling with having to pay monthly fees to a gym or wondering why you even have a gym membership in the first place—you’re not alone. More than five years ago, I reached my breaking point and added the commercial gym experience to my ever-growing list of things I used to do. Now it’s right up there with voting, air travel, concerts, movie theaters, and most restaurants.

If the corporatization of gyms didn’t turn them into soul-crushing places like Crunch Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, and Planet Fitness, then the phone-laden, headphone-wearing members did. Besides their homes and work, Americans used to have a third space to go to—like gyms, coffee shops, parks, and recreation centers—to find community and forge friendships.

SPOT ME: A GYM MEMOIR is my eighth book, and like the seven that came before, it’s comprised of a handful of true stories that serve as gym-related testimonials, each supporting my expressed opinions about the country we live in.

Trunks Art moved from Columbia, South Carolina, to Nampa, Idaho, in 2025 and has made this city his home and writing inspiration.

Nampa, Idaho - September 15, 2025 - An excerpt from Chapter Four, Axiom:

“Isn’t it crazy,” I began, “that a typical vehicle has around 10,000 moving parts and can reliably perform a myriad of functions in any kind of weather, from adaptive cruise control to fuel injection to personalized climate control, and yet this sauna, whose only function is to heat a pathetically small room using six non-moving parts, is constantly on the fritz! How is that even possible?”

The gray towel raised his eyebrows and, without looking at me, exhaled, “Yep,” as if my clever comparison wasn’t totally on par with something George Castanza might say on Seinfeld.

There's nothing better than receiving appreciation for your work...

 

Nampa, Idaho  - September 5, 2025 - Receiving confirmation that your book made a positive impact on a reader’s life has to be the most gratifying feeling for any writer. That’s why I’ll take the time to write to an author who’s changed the way I’ve thought about a particular subject. However, I’m always disappointed when I don’t hear back from them. As a writer, I dream of receiving correspondence like this. If I did, you can count on hearing back from me.

All my books can be found on Amazon. 💓💓💓
