Acid Reflux

This collection is a celebration of the long story containing 16 works of fiction along with the novella, &quote;Jane Dough.&quote; With the exception of three new pieces, the stories were written from 2000-2006 and then extensively revised for this 2013 book. The following stories are works of fiction intended only to amuse or otherwise stimulate potential adult readers. Any characters resembling persons living or dead are purely an offshoot of coincidence. The setting for &quote;Jane Dough&quote; was based on a neighborhood I lived in for eight years back in Chicago. Ironically, half the block was torn down shortly after my departure . . . but there was no evil conspiracy at fault. It was urban renewal. I don't know the property owners from a hole in the ground.
