Diplomatic Tales: Your Invitation To The Embassy

Diplomatic Tales tells the story of how American diplomacy works overseas. Career diplomat William S. Shepard first guides us through the practical side of diplomatic experience in Part One, Consular Tales, a record of his actual experiences in five missions overseas, and in the Department of State in Washington. In Part Two, Foreign Service Tales, we explore through fiction every part of an American Embassy, from the glamorous Ambassadorial suite to the General Services Office where essential security and other administrative functions are performed. Along the way, jealousy, love lost and gained, murder and hauntings can be expected!

Literature & Fiction

Contemporary

Foreign Service Tales, a collection of twenty short stories mostly set in American Embassies abroad, celebrates the diplomatic life. This is a community, with traditions and hierarchy, and there are stories about each Foreign Service specialty within an American Embassy. From a new Commercial Officer’s discovery of exotic local customs to an Ambassador’s celebratory glass of champagne, each tale offers insights for those considering a Foreign Service career. Drawbacks include missed promotions, status seekers and political appointees after what seem to be cushy jobs. That background also creates in Foreign Service Tales settings for love, jealousy, extortion and murder.
