Home again, home again, Jiggity-jig…

Here I am, just back from two weeks on the Dalmatia Coast of Croatia and already slaving away. The chaos at MEF never ceases. Three new stories published whilst I was away from the lonely writer’s garret. And, sad to say, a goodly size wheelbarrow of rejections to process. But we carry on, good readers, we carry on. What other choice is there except to lay down in the muck and stick all four limbs skyward. Hell No! We muddle forward! Stay tuned to the MEF blog for all the muddy muddling:
