On the Mend…
Yes, Dear Readers, I’ve been struck down by an invasive horde of Croatian microbes. The little buggers followed me home on the night train. But fear not, I am on the mend. A good thing, too. The literary hamster wheel stops for no person, no matter massive frequency of sneezing and nose-blowing. Look for more accepted stories, and (hopefully) more acceptances as well. Stay tuned to the MEF blog to keep up with all the news:

How About a Collection of Stories?
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.
