I had never heard of this sub-genre previously and put it on my list of authors to investigate. Later, in the same week, I visited my daughter and her family in Morgantown, West Virginia.

If I Could, I Would

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. In my younger days, I was willing to try almost anything if finances and time were not issues.

Bite-sized Reads

One of my favorite writers recently released a series of books in a great new format. These are longer than flash fiction and shorter than novellas Paul White says.
