Shadows on the Stage – Featuring My Short Story “Splinters”

I’m thrilled to announce a new anthology: Shadows on the Stage, featuring my short story Splinters. My short story Splinters appears in the latest Forest Publications anthology: Shadows on the Stage. Splinters tells the tale of Pinocchio, now known as Paolo Pinewood, and his one-man stage show, which appears far, far off-Broadway. The genre is literary fiction with a dash of fractured sexual fairytale. Order your copy today!

And finally, with your indulgence, allow me a blatant book plug. A lovely concept: Artists being paid for their work. And, yes, even writers need to eat. So please, buy a damn book. Thank you!
