Whether it’s a ghost town in the Sierras or a music studio in Oakland, hold on to those moments in time. Huge thanks to Michael Marsh for creating this video. And special thanks as always to all involved: John Vanderslice, Carly Bond, Robert Shelton, Jason Slota, Jacob Winik, and Henrik Kam.
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!
June 23, 2017. I performed a short set at a house party hosted by my good friends Les and Brenda at Mural Arts studio. Material included stories from Breakfast with the Alien and songs from Spiral Notebook Project. Set list below.
Set List: Breakfast with the Alien, Folderol, A Moment in Time, Eyes Wide Shut, The Cloud, T3, Hey World, Fool’s Gold, Nobody But You.
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!”
Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories is Available Now!!!
It’s been a long time coming, but my album is finally out. You can find it on iTunes, CD Baby, Spotify, your favorite dive bar jukebox, everywhere. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible.
I’m honored that Breakfast with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories is now on the shelves at Christopher’s Books. I love this bookstore!
Six String Communications always keeps me on my toes … work during the last few weeks included:
– brainstorming game names
– writing a press release for a new game development tool
– editing video scripts for a synthetic engine oil firm
– writing newsletter copy for a non-profit org
– compiling writing samples for a prospective new client
– editing a sales training manual for a promotional products company
– writing marketing one-sheets for two new mobile phones
– editing three proposals for transportation construction projects.
Oh, and in my spare time I released a book of short stories and recorded an album of original music.
Anyone looking for editorial assistance, please keep me in mind.
Hard to believe, but my album is almost ready for release … just a few more items to check off the “to do” list … it’s getting close.
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.”
Copies of my book have arrived. It’s been a labor of love but it’s finally here.
