‘Journal of the Scatterbrain’ by Joshua Valdez – A Bold and Unfiltered Collection of Short Stories
St. Petersburg, FL – Local author and storyteller Joshua Valdez is proud to announce the release of his latest literary work, Journal of the Scatterbrain, a provocative collection of short stories that blends the perspectives of youthful imagination with the maturity of lived experience.
Valdez began writing Journal of the Scatterbrain at the age of 13, drawing from the intensity of adolescent emotions and curiosity. Years later, he revisited and reworked the original manuscript, creating a unique marriage between the raw energy of his teenage self and the insights of his 39-year-old perspective. The result is a fusion of youthful fearlessness and adult reflection, a journey through stories that are simultaneously wild, dark, and profoundly thought-provoking.
“Writing this book was like having a conversation with my younger self,” says Valdez. “It’s a blend of who I was then and who I am now—a collection of stories that are equal parts chaotic and reflective.”
Known for his raw narrative style and ability to challenge societal norms, Valdez delves into themes like murder, violence, death, sex, and assault, with sharp wit and unapologetic candor. Journal of the Scatterbrain offers a powerful exploration of the human experience, combining sarcasm, dark humor, and moments of unnerving intensity to draw readers into a world that feels both familiar and unsettling.
When eccentric millionaire John reunites with his long-lost lover, he thinks he's finally found happiness. But after surviving a deadly party, he begins to hear wedding bells in his future. Meanwhile, famous TV comedian Hellen G is trying to repair her career after a scandal threatens to ruin her reputation.
As John plans his upcoming nuptials, newly engaged couple Smith and Jess are juggling running their hotel business and planning their own wedding at the same time. They're determined to make it work, but the stress of it all is starting to take its toll. Meanwhile, Cody, a professional Helen G impersonator, takes a job that turns out to be much deadlier than he anticipated. And when Jane Doe wakes up from a coma, she discovers that someone has stolen her entire life.
As these characters' paths intersect and their lives become increasingly intertwined, they must navigate love, loss, and danger in order to find their own happy endings.
Take a trip to the sparkling gem on Florida's Gulf coast, St. Petersburg, and enjoy a novella of new and old love with shocking surprises. Eccentric millionaire John celebrates his mascarade birthday party with the help of Smith, his assistant. Chaz has just been released from jail and takes on what he thinks is his last job.
