The hits just keep on coming for my wife, Laurie O'Connor Stephans!

Now that I have a crack three-person marketing team** to promote my book, I have time to get back to writing. Thrilled to have my entry in the WritersWeekly.com Summer 24-Hour Contest receive a Special Recognition Honorable Mention. The Fall contest is later this month if you want to join me!

How long until I have enough stories for Volume 2? Who knows? But until then, you can read the original anthology of short stories written for prompted writing contests: https://a.co/d/08rz2v8K
