Minus the Imple: Inspirational Novel Now Available Worldwide!

ROCHESTER, NY – Minus the Imple is a new novel, billed as a ‘fictionalized true story’, available now on all the major online retail booksellers, including Barnes & Noble (www.bn.com) and Amazon (www.amazon.com). The largely autobiographical tale is the debut novel by Rochester, NY author Robert R. Chandler.

The inspirational tale of Minus the Imple traces the life of a humble man from early childhood to the present day, and recounts the recurring unexplainable phenomena that punctuate his experiences. Written in an accessible style reminiscent of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, this is a true story about hitting rock bottom and battling back. It’s also a story about finding yourself and acknowledging the undeniable power of love.

“I’ve labeled it a ‘fictionalized true story’ because I want to be accurate in depicting the book’s two best features,” Chandler explains. The story is largely a memoir, according to the 50-something author, but names and actual venues have been changed and some elements of fantasy have been added for entertainment value. “The names of the characters have been changed, but all are based upon people who have greatly influenced me over the course of my life,” he adds. “I’ve bounced back from my lowest point to reclaim my identity and rebuild my life. Perhaps you’ve been there yourself, and know how it feels to be abandoned and alone.”

This novel (268 pages; ISBN# 978-0-6151-9772-2; Lulu.com ID #2035657), inspired by a random incident that occurred in 2002, has been a work-in-progress since 2004 and is now ready to be shared with the world. Minus the Imple is the first offering from Privileged Publishing, and is also directly available through Lulu at: http://www.lulu.com/content/2035657
