First, a huge shout-out to the great editors at Impspired. Stage plays aren’t widely accepted by literary journals, so I’m giving a huge tip o’ the writer lid to Imspired. Yvette and John Talk Love and Sense is my first piece to appear in this excellent online ‘Zine. I hope to become a steady contributor. Without further ado, mash the big button, and you will be whisked away to the hushed stage.

And… It’s August
For the last few posts, I have been moaning about the July madness here at MEF headquarters. Well, it’s a new month, Friends and Neighbors. New stories are being hatched, submissions sent out, and hopeful fingers crossed. In the meantime, there are still herds of accepted stories waiting to bust out of their respective corrals. How will you know when a new story breaks free? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On!

Last but not least, allow me to plug a book. What can I say? I need to pay the virtual rent and you need some summer reading. That said, how about a dark (and sometimes funny) zombie novel? That’s right, folks, it’s here! The original, the one that started it all, The Best Dark Rain awaits your hungry reader eyes:
The Best Dark Rain: A Post Apocalyptic Struggle for Life and Love
Seattle is dead. Almost dead. Liz and Pat are the last couple standing. Survival is only half the battle. Living is hard, trusting is harder.
There is precious little room for love in a dead city, a dead world. For not quite everyone died. Better if they had. Armed bands stalk the streets. In the shadows worse enemies prowl, horrible enemies. At the center of this bleak urban waste lies a makeshift fort. It is the refuge of Liz Walker and Pat O’Shea. They are the last living couple in the shell of what was once Seattle.
