Deadlines and Doom…
A New Year, My Lovely Readers, and I’d love to say that 2023 has turned over a new leaf, that all of the weirdness is gone, but that just ain’t so. In reality, it looks as if the Vortex of Crazy (VoC) is getting stronger and spinning faster. Here at MEF, we’ve got the Vortex of Deadlines, the Old VoD. That sucker is looming on the horizon. Three new stories, including a monster novella length Sci-Fi, and all of them due before first of February First! Will our plucky scribbler survive? Stay tuned to the MEF blog and find out.

Did someone bemoan their lack of short stories? Fear not, Good Readers! How about your very own copy of my latest short story collection:
U6 Stories – Vienna Underground Tales
Every train carries a story.
The U6 is one line of the Vienna underground transit system. The silver and red trains carry stories, many stories. A woman mourns her musical lover, and a man discovers his courage. A Syrian family flees to a fragile new beginning, and a young man helps circus performers during a pandemic. Lovers rediscover each other after decades apart, and a man finds a father he never knew. A contract is broken, and neighbors defend their own. Eighteen tales of love lost and found, of the darkness within us, and the glimmering light that keeps us afloat. Unforgettable characters struggle against the pressures of an impersonal world, and against the burdens they carry within. Welcome, Reader, to the stories of the U6.
