Blog #43; Free Competitive Swimming Book

For the next two days, my collection of short stories, Swimming Among the Olympians: A Memoir and Collected Stories, will be offered for free.   The stories take place in the heat of summer, and taste and smell of the chlorine of swimming pools and summer days.  Hold onto summer a moment longer with these stories.


Thanks!

Blog 42; FREE giveaway of collection SWIMMING AMONG THE OLYMPIANS

Now that the Olympics are over for another four years, I thought it would be fitting to re-release the collection of stories mostly based on swimming, especially with my memoir about training with Olympic athletes leading up to the 1984 games.  No, I didn't make the squad, but learned some valuable life lessons about sport and competition and what makes a quality life.

Blog #41; First, Do No Harm, short collection for FREE for next 3 days;

This next short story collection is intended to be a quick, 30 minute read.  It addresses the challenges of contemporary society, and how our morals relate to it.  Some of you may have read the title story.  It shows some of the moral quandaries posed by the pandemic and the way it is treated by the media and the medical community.


One story takes place in one of my favorite settings, the Yucatan in Mexico, dealing with post-colonialism and how transnational-businesses have become the new empire builders, and the grave impact this has had on the indigenous peoples.
