Hot off the Press!

Local flavor, indeed!
A Fresh Batch
Before dropping off a fresh batch of Breakfast with the Alien at Christopher’s Books, I stopped a young couple (and their dog) in their tracks and asked them to snap a photo.
I didn’t get their names but thanks to the young couple (and their dog). And thanks again to Christopher’s Books in San Francisco for stocking up on Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories.
Not Waterproof
This photo was sent in by a friendly reader after his 1.5-year-old son put Breakfast with the Alien in the washing machine. Books aren’t waterproof. It’s a good life lesson. 
The Perfect Pairing
Thanks to a friendly reader for sending this photo to remind me that Breakfast with the Alien goes well with all your favorite summertime beverages.
She referred to the stories as “hilariously disturbing.” High praise indeed!

Superbly Strange
It was wonderful to receive this feedback today from one of my writing workshop instructors …
“thanks deeply for sending your beautiful, superbly strange book … which I think is singular, unlike anything I’ve seen before, and pretty amazing!”

From a Friendly Reader
It’s wonderful to receive such a great response to “Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories” …
“I want you to know that your book has brought me back to reading at night – and that is such an awesome gift. After thinking my attention skills were permanently damaged from excessive use of digital devices, I found your ‘short, short’ stories to be the perfect antidote, and it’s reminded me of the simple pleasure of reading. I LOVE each story in its own way and am delighted at how much you can pack into a concise little tale.”
