Sheldon Cohen has always been a storyteller. And in his newest publication titled 'The Gift,' he finally achieves his lifelong dream of putting his stories on paper. In this diverse collection of short fiction oeuvres, Cohen tackles contemporary subjects through thought-provoking narratives peopled with easy-to-identify characters. The brief and well written selections hover from ordinary situations to fantasy scenes, sating readers who may not have the luxury of time to read but are still looking for means to divert the mind from tedious and serious concerns.

Upon retiring from a busy 40 year medical career, Dr. Cohen sought out a mind stimulating activity. Writing books seemed like a good idea, but how to start? Especially since the only previous writing emanating from the author were patient medical reports. Fifteen years ago, at age 68, the 'young' author sat down and started work on a medical murder mystery that had been incubating in his mind for many years prior to retirement. Four years of writing activity resulted in Brainstorm. Lo and behold, a publisher accepted the book, worked to publish it for many months-and declared bankruptcy. Welcome to the publishing world! Not dissuaded and fascinated by writing art and science, the next ten years saw many self-published print books pouring out of the author's computer followed by 21 (so far) ebooks in multiple genres including: Historical Fiction (World War II and Jewish history), Historical Fiction (nuclear bomb development), Fiction (medical murder mysteries), Fiction (medical diagnostic puzzle), Non-Fiction (medical), Fiction (terrorism), History (terrorism), History (physics), Healthcare, Autobiography, Children Story Poems. The author will continue writing as long as the years permit.

Roch Carrier's 'The Hockey Sweater' is described as 'quintessentially Canadian as the game of hockey itself. Originally published in French, the story, which is often seen as a parable about French and English relations in Canada, became an instant classic of Canadian literature.'
