My first collection of stories, 3.14 Stories , is now available on Audible and on iTunes . The audiobook is read by the incomparable Robin McAlpine . You can also purchase the Kindle or paperback edition on Amazon . This is my first foray into the world of publishing, so I'd love feedback on the stories or anything else about the project. The first story, "A Bizarre Game," is my personal favorite. I wanted to write a story that was pure fun, so there's no attempt in it at being literary or making any kind of point. It's just meant to be an hour-long escapist read, and it's intentionally a bit quirky. In the words of Mark Twain, "persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished." The book also includes my literary story that appeared in CHESS Magazine , "All These Christmases." You can learn more about the book's contents from my previous post . I hope you enjoy the stories. Merry Christmas!
