Everything I know from my many years of using both platforms. It all starts with your reader magnet! Don’t miss a single one.

My next Friday Fiction comes in the form of a prompt (I found an image that would fit): Write a story where a device goes haywire. I’ll be writing my version this Friday, October 15th!

Scrambling to make sure I didn't miss one Friday Fiction I wrote this one in the middle of the night on my iPhone, listening to Brahms, while my wife watched Arachnophobia and Creep Show 2 in the background! All of this plus Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith contributed to "Strangers in a Bar." I took elements of the book and movie and added a surprise ending that I really enjoyed writing. I hope you enjoy this one too! So, find 7 minutes out of your busy weekend, pour yourself a beverage of choice (not orange juice...) and let me know what you think? Comments here or in the post itself would be appreciated. Oh, and SIGN-UP for my newsletter so you won't miss these amazing weekly stories!

I can't believe it's almost been a week since last week Friday! The time has come for a brand new short story. Above is the image I'll be using as a prompt to get me started. Title: Strangers in a Bar. This is going to be paying homage to Alfred Hitchcock (movie director) & Patricia Highsmith (writer) of the famed Strangers on a Train. If you aren't familiar with the story, I highly recommend either of them. What happens when two complete strangers who each have someone in their life they'd love to see dead, meet and decide to trade murders? A mystery even the greatest of detectives couldn't figure out unless... If you don’t want to miss these weekly stories?
