On Friday just passed I completed the work of publishing my latest short story. Titled “It Happened At The Burger Joint”, it is all about the reconnection of a man and woman who had worked together decades before at a hamburger fast food restaurant. Both went their separate ways, marrying other and having families. Eventually they meet again, though not under the best of circumstances. Yet, the meeting proves to be mutually beneficial.

It’s available on Amazon and Smashwords, and distributed to other e-book retailers via the Smashwords premium catalog. Here are the links:

The cover proved to be difficult. I worked and worked on one, finding some applicable public domain photos to use. I tried working on it in both PowerPoint and G.I.M.P., and had something workable, but it didn’t look professional. It looked very much as if someone without graphic skills or artistic talent threw it together. I was about to go with what I had, when my Internet writing friend, Veronica Jones-Brown, who has done a couple of other covers for me, said to hang on, that she would work on something. She’s the one who did the cover you see in the post and in the sales links. Thank you, Veronica. I’ll get a check in the mail. Possibly, in a comment, I’ll put up the cover I had, just to show what I can’t do.

I sold one copy so far, to a high school classmate. That’s my first sale of anything in June.
