Off-Script: Author Ask

Dear Expressive-Compulsive Readers/Subscribers;

Can you help me? First, can you read my latest story that was just published by Short Fiction Break literary magazine, and, if you like it, share it with your friends on social media? (Full disclosure: This story had already been published on my blog on October 31st, 2023.)

You can also vote for this story on the Short Fiction Break website as a contender for the Reader’s Choice award. My potential publishers tell me I need to do this to build street “cred.”That is code for testing whether I have enough readers to suggest I could sell a book or two in the marketplace.

Please read my 3 minute story here and let me know what you think in the comments.

And please vote for me as a favorite Short Fiction Break Reader’s Choice short story pick. As you will see on their website, I have plenty of competition. It’s worth a lot to me and I thank you in advance for your support.

And best of all, it costs you absolutely nothing! Well, five minutes of your time…. (How rare is that kind of ask these days??)
