Smith Point Press is proud to present its second novel, Significant Lives; Or, Stories Gathered While Rubbish Removing.
Available now in Paperback and Kindle-Edition via Amazon.com
Mitchell Sperruzzi is three months out of grad-school. Three months out of his mother’s house. Three months on his own. And he is three months unemployed.
Three months of nothing ’til he becomes a Garbage Man. Well, a Rubbish Remover, to be more exact. A high-end all-inclusive estate/apartment/house cleanout service in the 5-boros of New York City where Mitchell’s knee-deep uncovering secrets of those who have lived—those who have made it—and those who have hoarded themselves in the greatest City in the Modern World—all the while befriending Pawn Brokers, Scrap Dealers, and anyone willing to buy an antique or two or some brass or some copper or some anything worth anything at all.
Significant Lives is a slice-of-life thrill taking the reader alongside Mitchell and his co-workers—taking the trip right on in the small dump-truck with the boys—as Mitchell not only uncovers of the significance of the lives of those who owned the homes he cleans out—but Mitchell also uncovers the significance of his own life, no matter how small, in such a large city.

The sea is dead—fishless—and Long Island fisherman Jon Brand is to blame. With his greed of overfishing for years—he is surely the cause of the current famine. According to Jon Brand, that is.
Elea, Jon’s wife, sees things differently. An oceans-worth of famine cannot be pinned down on one man alone. And she wishes Jon would man-up and find work inland if the sea can no longer provide for the family.
But Jon has faith in the sea. His sea. And he cannot simply turn his back on Her.
To Sea explores numerous beaches spanning across the Island where Jon seeks the answers of his fate—of his dry ocean—of his God. But the sea is silent. Time after time. Visit after visit. And with each trip to a differing shoreline passing, Jon finds himself closer and closer to a life changing revelation: To land, or, to sea.
