A Man of Few Words is a collection of 50 of my flash fiction stories. How does a teenager work up the courage to call a girl? What would happen if a “T-Rex on steroids” attacked a city? Why do science fiction writers make the best lovers? How does a company get to Second Base with VIPs? These questions and more are explored using less than 1000 words and in various genres from humor to horror and general fiction to science fiction.
The majority of the stories have been previously published (most by myself on this website) but all have been revised for this collection. In addition, each piece is accompanied by some background information giving a fuller story experience.
Here are the places I’ve found my book:
CreateSpace eStore for A Man of Few Words, which gives me a higher royalty, FYI.
Amazon.com, including, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Japan, and Amazon UK.
It’s on the Barnes & Noble website.
The website for Powell’s Books.
Better World Books has it.
Apparently, it’s a textbook because it is on Bookrenter.com.
Apparently I’m also African because it’s on AfricanWriter.com.
Iberlibro.com has it.
It’s even on Infibeam, “the biggest online bookstore in India.”
Indiaplaza also has it.
And The Nile, Australia’s largest book store.
Booktopia, “a book buyer’s paradise.”
Holistic Page, the “No.1 Internet Bookstore.”
It’s also on the online site of Probook, “one of the loveliest bookstores in Tel Aviv.”
You can also find it on the site for BTJ which is from Sweden and Finland.
As well as the BiggerBooks.com site.
And the Books A Million site.
