Check out the August 2017 edition of the Potrero View for The Guitarist in the Doorway, a story from Breakfast with the Alien.
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.
A Political Dance Tune?
Based on the Spotify data, this song has been played much more than any other on my Spiral Notebook Project album. Is it because it’s tagged as being “explicit” or is some other factor at work???
“I’m not the president … I’m not the queen … I’m not the sultan in the desert … it’s just little ol’ me.”
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.  
A New Video
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.Â
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! Â

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!”
