What’s going on here?
I file unusually short stories to the Internet from the rain and fog of Portland, Ore.
If you’re into Mamet, Chandler, Bukowski, or Drudge, this stuff might work for you. Good luck.
If any of these stories do something to you or for you, get the new stuff delivered as it’s published (no charge) via …
How do I contact you?
I’m not the finest correspondent you’ll ever meet, but if you want to go it anyway …

Are your stories fact or fiction?
Nothing in these stories is true of anyone, dead or alive.
Aren’t literary readings boring, navel-gazing, pseudo-intellectual con games?
Yes.
But, for $3000 + expenses, I’ll fly in and give you one that plainly isn’t.
And yes, that $3000 price tag is intended to keep me at home — in my bathrobe — at all times.
Where can I buy your books, bumper stickers, t-shirts, and mugs?
I don’t make books, bumper stickers, t-shirts, or mugs.
However, if you like these stories, you can use this link when you do your shopping at Amazon.com, and I’ll get a small cut of whatever you purchase (no extra charge to you).
If you don’t sell anything, or run ads, how do you make a living?
What are your hobbies?
I’m an expert with a 12 gauge Remington 870 Wingmaster shotgun in close quarters.
What’s your drink?
Bulleit, neat.
No, I was not paid to write that. Though I should’ve been.
Why don’t you allow comments, reply to tweets, emails, or phone calls? Are you some kind of arrogant prick?
Perhaps.
But, like you, I work a job, have a dog, two cats, two chickens and watch a lot of television.
I need the few moments left at the end of the day to write these little stories, cut my toenails, drink a beer and get to the dentist.
