MARIETTA, GA - August 22, 2026 - Becoming an author was hardly something those closest to John Wuska expected. Wuska readily admits he was never an avid reader, so when his first book, Oops!, was published, people who knew him were surprised. Now, after retiring from the conventional workforce, he is back with Yikes!, his second book and, unless something out of the ordinary happens, possibly his last.
That unlikely path is part of the fun of Yikes! Wuska became a published author after retirement and seems happy enough to laugh at the unlikely turn his life took.
Then there is the poem.
Wuska gives readers an additional bonus born from a last-minute decision: what he describes as the first and last poetic effort of his short literary career. The poem is a spin-off inspired by Trees, the Joyce Kilmer poem that has been Wuska’s favorite since childhood.
His family’s reaction to his writing career may tell the story best. After completing Oops!, Wuska presented the manuscript to his family, who were shocked. His mother told him he was the last of her children she expected to write a book. Rather than taking offense, Wuska found the comment hilarious. That sense of humor follows him into Yikes!
For readers who enjoy unconventional voices and stories born from life’s unexpected turns, Yikes! offers the perspective of an author who never expected to become one.
Pick up Yikes! on Amazon and discover what happened when an unlikely author decided he still had one more book in him.
