Blasts From The Past

Coming soon to this blog, short-form humor excerpts from my previously published work. Some of this will be freely offered, other bits will be available for a small fee.

These are family-friendly stories, and many of them have nuggets of truth in them. I\’m still working on newer material, and that will be here at times, too. The latter items are a bit tricky because some publications don\’t want anything that has already appeared elsewhere. They want first-rights. So, I\’ll be shopping my newest stuff about a bit.

That said, if you\’re interested in seeing my newest material, for free, I have a proposition. I\’m putting together a writing/critique group called \”the first readers club,\” and I\’m looking for feedback on 1958my work-in-progress. If you, too, are a writer, I\’m happy to trade pages with you under certain conditions. Basically, I want to be working with people who are producing stories and pieces that I don\’t mind reading, no graphic porn or violence, and I\’d prefer to read short-form humor. But I\’m flexible on that last point, and I\’m even willing to read heavy dramatic or non-fiction material if it speaks to social justice.

Let me know if you\’d like to collaborate. If I get a bigger response than I can handle, then I\’ll think about organizing critique groups.

Best wishes to all. Stay safe, and try to have some fun. Hard to do in these dark times.
