September Heat…
Sure, the dog days of August are gone… wait a minute, that just ain’t so. It’s still full-on summertime here on my side of The Pond. I care not that the poor Viennese (Wieners!) are melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. They love to complain. Me, I’m savoring every single blazing day.
But it’s not all cold drinks and lounge chairs. Things are buzzing here at the MEF garret. The month is only five days gone and already we have an accepted story! Look for more tales going live this month. How will you know when a new story breaks free? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On!
Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:
And finally, with your indulgence, allow me to plug a collection of stories. What can I say? I need to pay the virtual rent and you need some summer reading. So… how about a whole barrel of short stories for these lazy dog days? That’s right, folks, it’s here! Power Tools awaits your hungry reader eyes:
Power Tools
There are moments in life when having the right tool makes all the difference.
An elderly woman sets out alone on a journey into a new life. Two soldiers in a bunker share candy and memories. A widower takes on the Supreme Court with a robot. Grief is sung over the cobbled streets of Valletta. Two old heroes question their purpose. These stories tell tales of love lost and found, of the fight for justice, and the glimmering flame of hope that keeps us afloat. Unforgettable characters push back against the crushing weight of the world and shoulder the burdens they carry within. Love, laugh, dance, weep; these are the stories of Power Tools.
