October Writing Round-up
October already, eh? These days are certainly disappearing in a beer-soaked whirlwind of hops, changing my daughter's diapers and travel. So much travel! From Maine to Colorado, the last month has been crazy pants. Compound that with a cold, a case of food poisoning and walking Sammy Bernstein, and it's been a busy slate. Through it all, I've been clacking out stories. Here's a sampling of my latest stories. Happy reading. And drinking, too.
