Boneyard Tales out today!
« on: January 25, 2022, 10:12:56 AM »

Hey guys, I finally put together a collection of my flash fiction and had it published by a small press in Texas. It's out today (print available in U.S. only but lots of eBook options).

https://linktr.ee/boneyardtales

I have quite a few fishing stories in there and some taking place in CA. That's not me on the cover, but rather one of my characters (and yes, that's a fly rod in his hand!).



Check out the terrifying trailer an editor friend made for me. Not every story in the collection is scary, but the trailer sure captures those that are.

Proceeds will be donated to the Shriners Children's Hospitals in Spokane, Washington, & Galveston, Texas, USA. Thanks to all of you who have supported my writing in the past, and thank you Tom for allowing me to post this.

I hope you are all well in CA. Beware the man with little yellow teeth in the boneyard!

Many thanks for your support guys. Spent some time in both hospitals and I'm always looking for new ways to give back. Hope you find something you like in my quicky batch of strange stories.

Thanks again for letting me post!

Yeah, when I first saw the trailer, it legitimately scared me. Hopefully some of the stories can live up to it!

This is great Michael!  Stoked for you!
I loved the trailer  :D

Every couple of months I search around for new stuff from you, love reading it and can't wait to get the paperback!

I'm not in CA anymore, finally got out and  moved to north Idaho, not too far from you.  Only had the flyrod out once so far, but plan to do a lot more this summer.

Glad you're doing well!

Thanks for keeping up with the pubs and your continued support, Chad. It was slow last year with only six new stories, but that's because I was so consumed with the collection. Now that it's out, I think I need a nap and then it will be back to writing!

I remember you mentioning the relocation to Northern Idaho, Cd'A, correct? I need to make a trip over to Spokane, probably this summer, to see my mom and will pass through the panhandle. I'll let you know when I make the trip and perhaps we can get the fly rods out or just have a cold beer!

Yes, CDA.  That would be great Michael, let me know when you're heading this way!

Will do. I'll be in Butte for a book signing in May, and possibly Missoula after that. I know both places are still a ways from CDA, but if you're heading east during that time, might work.

A teaser from the collection, out today in one of my favorite journals (based loosely on a time when a camping buddy and I almost froze to death!):

Tx, Chad. Yep, occasionally I do some happy endings. Otherwise it just gets too depressing, lol.  ;D
