Dear Friend,

Congratulations! The very fact that you’re visiting shows you’re smarter than the average person. (How do I know that? Because you read!) Most of these stories have been published in literary magazines; where this is the case, I have so noted. You’ll find a little bit of everything here: fantasy, science fiction, whimsy—even even the odd murder mystery.  My goal is to provide decent, upbeat entertainment, and if it allows you to forget what ails you for a spell, so much the better.

Comments at the end of any story or on Facebook (or both) are much appreciated. Thanks for dropping by.  If you enjoyed the experience, please share it with others. And do come again—you never know what’ll turn up next.

All the best,

Mike

P.P.S.  My son, Colin, is a filmmaker.  His movie Strawberry Flavored Plastic, about a pair of documentary producers who bite off more than they can chew when they opt for an ex-con as their next subject, has garnered rave reviews from Hollywood Reporter, Rue Morgue, Dread Central, etc. It is available for rent or sale online. I highly recommend it.
