Raising the Bar in Door County: and Other Stories

As a follow-up to his novel Bridgeport, Mike Pankratz’s Raising the Bar in Door County and Other Stories contains nine whimsical short stories that will entertain you as well as make you ponder some of your own beliefs.
The title story takes you on a journey all over Door County, Wisconsin, as two young people learn about themselves and how other people think of them and treat them.
Other stories, such as Sudo City, make you wonder how things could be if just a few beliefs we have are tweaked slightly, and reality was dealt with in just a bit more logical fashion.
Ted of the Pines takes you on a journey to rural central Wisconsin, where a chance encounter between two men leads to unnerving consequences.
These nine stories take you all over the author’s native Wisconsin, as well as to Florida and California, with plenty of humor and whimsy along the way.
Settle back and take them one at a time, and decide if these characters please you or upset you, make you laugh or cry, or make you want to change anything about yourself.
But most of all, enjoy them for what they are - stories that will make you sit up and say, are there people out there like that, really? Really? You be the judge.
