Who doesn’t like a good story?

This Substack is for those who enjoy good short stories and fiction in general. If you’re one of those folks who are always reading something, then this is your place. Look around and make yourself at home. Subscribe, and it’s free; share with your friends.

You’ll find nonfiction items about writers and writing here as well. I posted an essay on my literary heroes, authors whose work has inspired me and left a lasting impression. Click on Reading and Writing on the top banner and see. Take a look and compare your favorite authors to mine. Meanwhile, I will put more essays and the like in here.

I’ve been writing as a hobby for maybe thirty-odd years, and instead of leaving all this material sit on a shelf, it seems like a good idea to share it. After all, what value is a book if nobody reads it.

Stay up-to-date

Every Monday something new will post. You’ll find either short fiction or an essay about writing or individual authors. Feel free to restack what comes your way so others can see and drop me a note if you’re inclined.

My novel, Putzmann’s Destiny, originally published in 2003 and out of print, is serialized here. In addition to that, you’ll find other short stories added to the page. This is a free site, and I intend to always have free content here.

You can get a more comprehensive look at what I’ve been up to at my website. I do have some novel manuscripts looking for a good home, as well as other novel projects in the works. Don’t be surprised if excerpts and samples show up here.
