“Greyhound” new flash fiction story in Club Plum Literary Journal
Thank you to Club Plum Literary Journal for including my story “Greyhound” in their current issue.
Like the character in the story, I logged many miles on buses, assuming I could afford the ticket, especially when it was too cold or wet to hitchhike. As much as I love Jack Kerouac, I always seemed to have less money than Sal Paradise.
The link below includes a soundtrack from Calpurnia, also entitled “Greyhound.” Very cool.
Sharing my poem “Why Trees Stay Outside” from Rust + Moth to celebrate my son’s birthday
My son John asked his insightful question over two decades ago, but it still resonates with me. Grateful to be his dad.
