11/21/16 A few more poems posted over the last few days. Hard at work on several stories and hope to have something new to post soon. Thinking about a Christmas Poetry Contest - what do folks think?

11/15/16 A reader inspired me to pen a few more short poems. Thanks!

11/12/16 Just to confuse people I just posted the OTHER version of my Little Girl and the Cop story. Don't be confused, it's a completely different take on the same set up. Wrote this quite awhile ago.

11/9/16 I just posted the two halves of the last of the extant Viral Video stories. If there's interest, I might write one or two more of those. Also, I've had a couple of comments from readers who are pointing out incorrect word usage and other typos here and there. I have to say: that is FREAKING FANTASTIC! If you see something wrong, let me know, please!

10/30/16 A new Halloween story just in time for Halloween! Enjoy!

9/19/16 The fucking iFrames problem strikes again! I couldn't figure out why no one was voting in the Poetry Contest - until someone told me the form was blank. Fixed it wih a link to the voting form. Hopefully now all you Chrome, Firefox and IE users will start VOTING!

7/25/16: The Poetry Contest page is up. I'm going out on a limb here, folks, don't let me down! There were some problems with the comment forms working - but I think I got them fixed! Hopefully I didn't lose any comments or contest entries.

7/24/16 So, the pages are all converted to vanilla web pages with no frames. Everything seems to be working. I added a page that describes Limericks, for those who don't know. And the contest page will be up and ready VERY SOON.

Thanks for the comments people! Nice to hear that people like the stories.
