Edward Kenneth Loyst, known for his imaginative storytelling and literary craftsmanship, has unveiled his third book, 'Have I Ever Told You My Duck Story? … And Eight Other Short Stories'.

The stories range from the personal and poignant 'The Duck Story', inspired by Loyst's own life, to the thrilling and complex 'The Russian Affair', showcasing the author's versatility and narrative prowess.
The significance of Loyst's work lies in its ability to connect with readers on multiple levels. Whether it's through the exploration of family dynamics in 'Turtle Tails' and 'A Toast to Dad', or the darker, more suspenseful tones of 'Suicide by Cop' and 'How to Dig a Grave', the collection offers a mirror to the varied facets of human experience. This diversity not only entertains but also provokes thought, making the book a valuable contribution to the literary world.
Originally part of Loyst's extensive historical novel, 'Kennebec Corners', these stories have been reimagined as standalone pieces, allowing them to shine in their own right.
