Well, We All Have Stories...

Some, anyway.

A lonesome mechanic searches the dingy velvet of his small-town strip club for answers and for something that's true…

So, I’ve long thought about publishing a book of short stories — I’ve got about 10 or so I really like — but I’ve not yet made it happen.

I’ve also got a whole jumble of potential story ideas that I haven’t really had the focus to really nail down.

A poor, small town kid debates love, life, and the team basketball shoes…

So, as a way to trick myself into thinking more about both getting that book eventually put together, and as a way to encourage some more serious thinking on the newer ideas — I figured I’d remind myself (and you all) about the ones that already do exist.

Granted, not everyone wants to e-read, but until there IS a printed edition, here’s some links to some of my short fiction.

Make the Water Laugh...

Make the Water Laugh...

Years ago, back in the days of SASEs and analog journals and zines, I became friends with Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal. For 30 years now, he’s been carving out a humble life in Southern California, working in the mental health field, and writing wry, taciturn, whimsical then sad poems. The work is impossible to pin down: often filled with natural imagery, and a whole cast of people, catches of their conversations…in one moment child-like, and the next, hell and madness. The overall effect creates not just a wildly vivid pastiche of verse but a body of work utterly and solely his own.
