The Time of the Season

With the holiday season now upon us I thought readers would like a seasonal tale or two or four to be exact.

Fair warning, these are not your cozy little yuletide tales, but then you should know me by now.

The holidays can bring out the worst in everyone and does so in these four short Christmas themed stories.

‘Tis The Season is only .99 cents!

John’s Quotes

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner
