The following is another fictional short story. The idea for this one came to me one day a couple of weeks ago, when I was walking my dog. If I ever publish anything in an actual book, I suppose I'll have to thank my dog Porkchop in the Acknowledgements. This one's written in the 1st … Continue reading Two Coins

Their Table
I miss you, the note read. The words seemed to leap off the paper and caused her heart to skip a beat.

From across the little bookshop, she saw him shyly glance her way. It was another dull Tuesday night and again she had found herself at the bookshop.

Book Review: Scrappy Little Nobody
Anna Kendrick just might be my spirit animal. I recently finished reading Anna Kendrick's book, titled "Scrappy Little Nobody," and just knew from page one that I would need to write a blog post about it.
