New Creative Nonfiction Hot off the Virtual Presses

W00T! New Creative Nonfiction! Helicopter is my latest CNF piece, just published by Literally Stories. Helicopter is a mental recitation by a person suffering from rumination syndrome. This latest published piece is not quite fiction, and yet not true memoir. A blend of both, I suppose. You will just have to read it and decide for yourself.

Here are some simple steps you can take to resist these self-appointed censors: Support your local library. Read banned books. If you have kids in school, attend the school board meetings. Look for the agenda of censorship hiding behind the fascist lies. These sonsofbitches want to control your thoughts and beliefs. Please, don’t fall for it!

And finally, with your indulgence, allow me a blatant book plug. Yes, I know, pesky artists wanting to get paid for their work. Will they never learn? Well, probably not. Even writers need to eat. So how about another dose of literary fiction? Thanks!

A contract is broken, and neighbors defend their own. Eighteen tales of love lost and found, of the darkness within us, and the glimmering light that keeps us afloat. Unforgettable characters struggle against the pressures of an impersonal world, and against the burdens they carry within. Welcome, Reader, to the stories of the U6.
