March Holiday Flash and a New Short Story

 

Yup, I'm totally not Irish at all. My kids have a tiny bit, but it's totally Eastern European and Hungarian/Romanian for me. Won't stop me from wearing GREEN, though. In this month's flash fiction I took advantage of a comment I recently heard: Everybody's Irish in March. Enjoy!



Starring Storm, Kev, and Jackie from Face to Face...

Storm silently observed as a war of sorts had started between his mates. It began with Jackie attaching paper four-leaf clovers to the windows. Kev retaliated with fake floral greenery in verdant vases. Jackie wore green-stripes socks and green polka-dot undies while Kev seemed to have a never-ending supply of "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" T-shirts. There was a themed tablecloth and napkins one morning, followed by matching dishes the next. One night, Kev dyed Jackie's bathwater green with one of those kid-safe pellets. The next evening, every soap in the house had been replaced by a green glycerin one. We went to bed on dark green sheets and woke up with blankets decorated with shamrocks. Seriously… St. Patrick’s Day could not come fast enough for him. Why, oh why, was everyone Irish in March?

And the big news:
A new Ryan and his daddies short story is now available!!

Ryan's Weekend Retreat


The summer is drawing to a close, and Ryan misses spending time with his daddies. Everybody's so busy...and stressed out. When Daddy Eli orders Ryan and Daddy Jon to pack, Ryan is thrilled. The view from the lake house is amazing: a huge forest, a wide lake, a firepit. The view from the bed is also pretty wild. His daddies know how to spoil their little boy: with lots of love, kisses, and other assorted fun.

Ryan’s Weekend Retreat takes place immediately following the conclusion of Hand in Hand and continues the tale of Ryan, Daddy Eli, and Daddy Jon for a few more glorious days.
