Play the Twilight Zone Music

I heard a news report today that gave me chills.  I published a short story, Labor Day, a few weeks ago.  The heroine's a pregnant mom-to-be who has all her baby things stolen and a sweet police officer goes out and replaces her carseat and some of the clothes.

The news story?  A sweet Ohio cop who pulled an aunt over and instead of giving her a ticket, went out and bought two carseats for her nieces/nephews.  You can read the report here.

Yeah, I know.  Not exactly the same, but close enough to give me chills.

Go ahead, play the Twilight Zone music!!

And a big hand to Officer Mark Skala!  You sir, are a real hero in my book.

Short Stories...Labor Day

When I started writing, my first sales were short romance stories. Well, that and a poem I sold for $4. LOL I decided to stick with the romance.

Soon, I moved from short stories to books.  But every now and then I go back and write a short.  I did the Nothing But... trilogy a couple year ago and still hear from readers.  So long story...well, short, I've put up a new short story for Kindle.  I have a few more that will be going up soon.  They are short, but they're only 99¢.  So if you're looking for a quick read I hope you'll give Labor Day a try!

PS. For my Quincy Mac fans, she gets a tiny shout out in the story!

You might be a writer...

So, maybe I had a bit too much time the other day and rather than thinking about my work-in-progress, I was thinking about being a writer...
