Gregory Randall's SNOW ON THE PEA SOUP to be Featured at Miami Book Fair

In "Snow On The Pea Soup: And Other Anecdotes" (published by AuthorHouse), which will be featured at the Miami Book Fair this November, author Gregory Randall shares some of his funniest and strangest stories collected over a 50 year career as an investment manager with a heavily stamped passport and a knack for attracting chaos.

"I tell them as it was, so some of them will annoy the important people," writes Randall.

Randall's anecdotes take readers all over the world, from Chile to the Cook Islands. Ranging from a paragraph to several pages, the stories are short and concise, never staying in the same place for very long. "It's about the odd things which make up human life," Randall says.

An excerpt from "Snow On The Pea Soup":

"One day I was walking with my dog in the local churchyard when a lady came up to me and said, 'It's cowled.'

I immediately thought she must have seen the ghost of a monk. I couldn't see it, but said, 'How wonderful to see such an apparition.

Do you see ghosts here often?'"

The Miami Book Fair celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The eight day fair opens on November 17th, 2013. "Snow On The Pea Soup" will be showcased along with approximately 350 other books in the Festival of Authors.
