Looks Likd I've Become a Monthly
Hello, Readers All,
Honest to Pete, I didn't intend this to become a monthly whatever it is but it's got its own ideas apparently and so here we are.
On the writing front, not much new going on. I did order a proof copy of "Graceless" in order to gauge how it reads in book form. That baby is going to be a real collector's item if Grace ever gets herself published, I tell you what.
In other news, I've sold seven - count 'em - seven e-books. I'm currently pulling more short fiction into another anthology which I'll publish as an e-book.
There are currently four print copies of the first edition of "Nice Try" for sale. $15 in the USA includes shipping. Let me know!
Instead of working on anything "real" at the moment, I'm diddling around with Medium and - by extension - Newsbreak. So I'm leading this week with a new piece in Medium. As ever, if the (ahem) friend link doesn't get you to the story, please let me know. I'll get a pdf to you toot sweet!

Don’t be like me………or maybe DO?
I've updated a piece that got its debut in the wake of that Great Struggle for Democracy and Freedom, aka the Ukrainian Russian War. I know, it's hard to keep track of all the places our tax money is being used to kill people.

Think the rest of the world has had enough of us yet?. On the first day of the Introduction to Journalism course I took during my blink-and-miss-it three semesters at Case Western Reserve University, Professor Ted Gup made the impassioned case for journalism as a noble “calling”. Mr. Gup is a respected investigative journalist whose work has been published in The Guardian, The Washington Post, National Geographic, Smithsonian, The New York Times, and The Nation.
Time to lighten things up a bit with a piece of fiction that showed up first on Medium several years ago. Go ahead. Laugh. It'll save your sanity. And enjoy AleXander's beautiful collage work.

That was my best bit. And still here I am, dying in real time onstage. Look at those faces, like a wall of corroded steel. How can they not be laughing? Why has time stopped? Is the mic dead? Hello?
While I diddle about with half-baked ideas and other silliness, my partner in life and art, AleXander, continues working on this fascinating mix of fact and fantasy. For your reading pleasure, the second installment of "Withdrawing Fables from the Memory Bank".
