I’m very excited to announce this evening of stories & songs on March 20 at the Octopus Literary Salon in Oakland with the amazing Monica Pasqual … hoping for a good turnout … especially from my East Bay friends. Come on out!!!
It’s always nice to stumble upon a new review for my book, especially when it’s a five-star gem. Thank you, Kind Reader, for taking the time to jot down your impressions of Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories. I appreciate it very much.
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.
Thanks to the good people at DefiantScribe for publishing my flash fiction story “Follow the Sun to My House of Shells.”
Here’s what they say about the story …
“This flash fiction piece by Greg Roensch illustrates that dreamy state between sleeping and being awake and that brief moment where we forget everything that is wrong, that moment where we are suddenly inspired with hope … [It’s] a deeply humorous, entertaining piece that’s as wonderfully loony as it is amusing. The writing itself is polished and charming, and, at just 334 words, it’s the perfect piece for the busier among us.”
An earlier version of this story appears in Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories.
Exciting news! I’ve been chosen as one of 15 finalists in Fiction War’s Fall 2017 flash fiction contest for my story Always on the Run.
One story will be chosen as the grand prize winner. All 15 final stories will be published in Fiction War Magazine.
What’s it gonna be … love or money??? Take a look at how it went down for one poor miner in my new video for “Fool’s Gold.” Thanks again to my friends at Tiny Telephone Recording studio for contributing to my memorable musical adventure in 2017.
Check out this month’s Potrero View for the article I wrote about two of my favorite neighborhood businesses, Mural Arts and Christopher’s Books.
