Hot off the virtual presses, my short story Sophie, Anarchy, and Me has just been published by the good folks at pioneertown. Sophie, Anarchy, and Me tells the tale of a meeting at a protest, a rubber bullet, and a rescue. Boy meets girl, loses girl, gets girl back, then messes up. Bad. The genre is literary fiction.
Mash the big orange button, and you’ll be whisked away to an excellent ‘Zine: pioneertown. If you love edgy literary fiction and more, this is your ‘Zine. And no paywalls! That’s right, Friends and Neighbors, pioneertown is a FREE read.

I’m just back from a sojourn across the pond to the US of A. I observed plenty of darkness on display in the form of MAGA nastiness, but all is not midnight. In Philadelphia, I stood in line to view the Liberty Bell. I was but one of many folks of all races and nationalities. Right, I know, a clichéd symbol of the tarnished American Dream. Yet I found myself teary-eyed when I took my turn standing beside that cracked and hallowed symbol. I wasn’t the only one. So, a ray of hope.
On a happier note, Sophie, Anarchy, and Me is my twelfth published piece for 2025. W00T! More stories are coming your way. Hold onto your hats, folks! So, how will you know when a new story breaks? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On! Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:
