The Bang! of September…

This month is starting out like a busted dam. Stories and acceptances are flooding the damn valley! Head for high ground, people! I’m not exaggerating — no more than usual anyway. Two stories and a poem published before Labor Day Weekend. More stories going live as I type this. Sure, there have been some rejections. There always are. But hark! Three acceptances and the month is only three days old. W00T! Tune into the MEF blog for all the latest:

Summer Reading

Labor Day, I get it, but I’m not giving up on summer, not yet. And so, summer reading is still on the docket. Grab a book and settle in by the pool, the patio, or the BBQ. What’s that? You need a book? never fear, Good Readers:

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.
