"Shoemaker Elves"
European fairy tales that captured my heart and my imagination the first time I encountered them...and one new groundhog story. The thing I love about folk literature is that folks of all ages respond to it. I've seen audiences that span four generations -- kids, parents, grandparents, great grandparents -- lose themselves in the same fairy tale. That's why these stories have endured.
“What Was Civil About that War…”
“There are few times in a reviewer’s experience when the hairs on the back of his neck rise at the end of a story.
…(H)er performance so engages the listener that it pushes the boundaries beyond a simple telling of a historical episode in a horrific battle and enters into the realm of nightmare.”

“Groundhogs Meet Grimm”
“This audiobook is a retelling, of course, of some of the most popular children's tales ever -- but with groundhogs (yes, groundhogs) as the heroes. These stories are so clever you will find yourself laughing out loud and completely consumed by them.”

Sample - "3 Little Groundhogs and a Wolf."
"The Janitor's Closet :: Occupied"
The janitor's closet sits in a shed behind the abandoned high school -- a place where students learned that attending extra-curricular activities could bring about grave consequences. "Occupied" is a personal story. You might not believe in ghosts right now. But after you've met Eulalie Stinchcomb (1875-1894) of Jonesborough, Tennessee, you might reconsider. These stories are not recommended for young children. Seriously. (Signed and numbered limited edition; $10 includes postage & handling; to order, contact me.)
"The Bob Mapplethorpe Memorial Condom Wallet: A Love Story"
Sorry, Mom, but sometimes you have to take off your little white gloves and adopt a bare-knuckle approach to courtship and romance. Desperate times call for desperate measures.(Signed and numbered limited edition; $10 includes postage & handling; to order, contact me.)
