New Review on Amazon

Thanks very much to the kind reader who just left this review on Amazon:

“Breakfast with the Alien is an exceptional read. There is definitely something in here for every type of reader. From the romantics to sci-fi lovers and from the thrill seekers to the mystery solvers. Each short story has its own unpredictable twist that kept me wanting more. Each short story will only take you a minute to read, so don’t miss out! Greg Roensch is a seriously talented author who can create such vivid worlds with such few words. My favorite was ‘She Only Whispers,’ what will yours be?”

Indeed, what will yours be?

A New Video

A few years ago, I made a modest home-recording of “Blue Christmas” for a friend’s holiday album. This video of the tune goes out to everyone who bought, read, inspired, motivated, advised, left a review for, sent a kind thought about, created art for, voted for, hosted or attended a performance of Breakfast with the Alien in 2017.

THANK YOU. The Alien and I appreciate it.

Baby Reader

One of the best things about writing Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories has been hearing from old friends wanting to let me know they’re checking out my book.

Like this … I received a note recently from one of my former Taekwondo students letting me know that she and her 8-month-old daughter picked up a copy of Breakfast with the Alien at Green Apple Books in San Francisco.

It’s doesn’t get any better than this.
