Only 371 shopping days until next Christmas. Dinner isn’t served. But Breakfast and Lunch are always available. Get ‘em while they’re hot at your favorite online bookseller. Bite-sized literary morsels for the brain are good for the holidays or anydays.
This just in … my new short, short story “Giant Rock,” inspired by my recent trip to The Integratron, has been accepted for publication in Bright Flash Literary Review. Thank you to them. And, yes, aliens are involved, as are baby quails, a giftshop saleswoman named Venus (who looks like Marilyn Monroe in “Some Like It Hot”), and a talking bobcat.
The countdown is on.
Lunch with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories is coming out one month from today, on May the Fourth – because as much as I love Wookiees, Droids, and Skywalkers I want my little book to compete head-to-head with the entire Star Wars universe. May the Force be with the little book with the well-coiffed alien on the cover.
Pre-Order available now on Bookshop.org, Amazon.com, or your favorite online bookshop.
First there was “Breakfast” … now there’s “Lunch.”
Yes, I’m excited to let you know I checked this project off my list while staying home during COVID-19.
“Lunch with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories” is Coming Soon (paperback and ePub versions).
Stay tuned for further details.
A first. My monthly sales report indicates that someone in China bought “Breakfast with the Alien.” WooHoo.
Anyone else looking for some light, quirky reading in 2020 can find the Alien here:
Well, the Alien didn’t win, but he received a few nice comments from the judge:
“Great title. And the quirky illustration* is priceless … Your prose is very sharp and everyday realistic … Great morbidly fun opener! … You seem to be at your best on the dark side.”
– Judge, 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
