EXTREMELY enjoyable and funny.
Punchline...don't want to spoil it.
Nice!

Thanks, Tom.

In contemporary literature, the subject matter is underrepresented. I hoped to change that.

"Death Honk" was extremely wonderful, weird, and oddly compelling... like a bad car accident with snow cones. I couldn't help rooting for the bears. Well worth the wait but I can hardly wait for the novel! Get to work.

Glad you liked it, Steve.

Hope to finish the novel's first draft by the end of Sept. and the rewrites by Dec.

Unless paying work rears its ugly, rarely-seen head.

That has got to be one of the most depressing stories I've ever read. As far as I know there aren't any clown-bear fights near me, and there's probably no chance in hell anyone would hire me to work for one much less any chance I could legally start one. You've introduced me to the lifelong dream job I can never have.

Other than crushing my spirits, great story! Loved it.

Maz,

Nothing is impossible where there is the will to succeed.

Have you looked in Wisconsin?
