Shaking Going On…

I’m just back from a sojourn to the metropolis of Istanbul. Whilst there, sitting outside the Blue Mosque, I experienced a 6.3 earthquake. Lo, the ground was shaking. Other seismic events are happening in Istanbul. Protests against Erdoğan’s heavy-handed rule continue. So, another ray of hope in the struggle against Fascism, both here in Europe as well as across the Atlantic in the Americas.

In other happy news, A New Eternity is my lucky thirteenth published piece for 2025. W00T! More stories are coming your way. Hold onto your hats, folks! So, how will you know when a new story breaks? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On! Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:

And finally, with your indulgence, allow me a blatant book plug. Gotta keep the lights on and kebaps on the table, dontcha know. Throw me a bone and buy a book, willya? Thanks!

Power Tools

There are moments in life when having the right tool makes all the difference.

An elderly woman sets out alone on a journey into a new life. Two soldiers in a bunker share candy and memories. A widower takes on the Supreme Court with a robot. Grief is sung over the cobbled streets of Valletta. Two old heroes question their purpose. These stories tell tales of love lost and found, of the fight for justice, and the glimmering flame of hope that keeps us afloat. Unforgettable characters push back against the crushing weight of the world and shoulder the burdens they carry within. Love, laugh, dance, weep; these are the stories of Power Tools.
