June and Rabbits…

Rabbits, Rabbits, White Rabbits! Yes, folks, it’s the first of June already. Did you say your ‘Rabbits’ this morning? Good luck for you if you did. And for me as well, I hope. The nasty Croatian microbes seem to be losing their grip on my sinuses. I’m on the mend! Good thing, as MEF is a-buzz with activity. A brand new accepted horror story, another published story hot on the heels of this one, the list goes on and on. Stay tuned to the MEF blog to keep up with all the news:

Summer Reading Time!

You know you need a good summer read. Look no further, folks. How about my latest collection of short stories:

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.
