Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, Oct. 31 through Nov. 6

Well, no wonder I feel like I'm chasing myself this week.

I have fourteen stories to share this week - and that's with helping with election coverage on Tuesday and taking Wednesday off because I'm working this weekend.

Feel free to browse through the links and choose the stories that interest you. And although none of them are directly about the election and coronavirus, the last three spotlight ways people are "coping" through all the craziness that is 2020.

On the fiction side of things, I am working this weekend, but I hope to glance at The Phoenix this weekend, as well as Ed Calkins' Ruthless - although I have a non-fiction book (my first) that I'm finishing up, so that will take priority over these two.

Besides, if you're looking to read a BryonySeries book, you have plenty of choices.

And the last short story in The Herald-News' "COVID Chronicles" series goes out next week - and it's mine! Yes, a BryonySeries pandemic piece for The Herald-News - because, well, it's 2020.

The stories are free to read, but you must be a subscriber to The Herald-News' LocalLit short story newsletter. The story will come directly to your inbox. For details and to subscribe, go HERE.

Rebekah is finishing the last formatting touches on three new Bertrand the Mouse books - just in time for holiday gifts.

WriteOn Joliet's fourth anthology will soon be available. Rebekah did the last format tweaking yesterday, so we're waiting on KDP approval.

And I have manuscripts from two clients, which I'll also be tackling in the evenings this weekend.

Finally, I have my yearly physical on Saturday. So if I'm dying, all of this goes away.

JUST KIDDING!

Have a great Friday, readers, writers, and BryonySeries fans.
