The Fund

Another Rabbi Shlomo story. As you may recall, Rabbi Shlomo died at the end of Glatt Kosher. So you may assume that this is a prequel, or a reimagining of Rabbi Shlomo. I tend to use and abuse the good Rabbi whenever I write a religiously themed story. In this incarnation, Rabbi Shlomo has caught a bit of Messianic fever.

Imagine

Here's a story that will appeal to all you Beatlemaniacs. It imagines that John Lennon is still alive. It was written before Goege Harrison died so it is a bit dated, but still fun. I've packed it with hidden Beatles and John Lennon references; some obvious, others more obscure. See if you can spot them.

Memoirs of a Grinder

This is the title story of the collection. A fast paced adventure of unethical financial services salesmen caught up in a world of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.

Rules of Engagement

Here is a sex farce for modern times.

Up to this point, most of my stories were based on my own life experiences. Eventually and inevitably, the well ran dry. So instead, I began to collect other people's stories. After reading "A Little Something on the Side", one of my friends was moved to confess that she was into the swinging scene. I spent the next several months interviewing her and her friends. It became immediately apparent that they could use some help in writing interesting role playing scenarios and so the genesis of the story was born. These new friends told me that they had met on an internet dating site. In researching the site, I almost immediately came across a woman who claimed to be a serial killer. The story came together after that and the result is before you now.

Enjoy and please leave a comment or two.

The Survivor

Although filled with dark humour, I have posted a more serious piece this week in honour of Yom HaShoah.   The episodes in the story are based very loosely on some of my father's experiences in the Holocaust.  Many of the episodes in this story show up again in a movie script I wrote titled Max the Butcher.  The script will be posted at a later date.  

Once again, I use a shifting perspective to tell the story.  This time the prospective changes from first person  Holocaust incidences to a pre-war, third person history of young boy.  I am purposely vague as to whether the two characters are in fact the same person.  

As always, I welcome comments that never seem to arrive.

The Lunar Mission

Another short one.  This is a companion piece to Waiting for Superman.  I'm still waiting for some comments.

Waiting for Superman

I'm  get some traffic to this site but no comments.  So I'm a little worried that people are visiting but not investing the time necessary to read a 30 page story.  So I'm making it easy for you this week with a story that's less than 2 pages long.  It's part autobiographically, part fan fiction and all fun.  If you are enjoying these stories, please leave a comment.
