“Mac, Dickran, and The Kid” — First Short Story of 2020

Happy New Year to everyone, and happy Year of the Metal Rat. The first month of the year has been a mixed bag from a literary point of view: Excellent reading, productive writing, and determined submissions. The only thing missing from the new year was an acceptance. I am happy and relieved to announce that the drought of acceptances has been broken.

“Mac, Dickran, and The Kid” is an homage and the second of a trilogy of stories set in New Orleans. Some of you may have read the first story, “The Busker,” which was published last year at Literally Stories.

The homage in the story is to Doctor John and Leon Redbone, two musicians who influenced my life, and who we recently lost. So, without further ado, here is the link to the story. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please, tell another reader. Word of mouth is the best gift any Indie Author can receive.
