Poke it With a Sharp Stick – New MZM e-book Available Now!
Great news, everybody!
For everyone (that’s code for “both of you”) who’s been clamoring (sound of two people clamoring) for a Middle Zone Musings e-book – well, I have great news: the long, long wait is over! (Cue the fireworks, cue the band, cue the confetti! Hey! Somebody roll out that red carpet!)
That’s right, my very first e-book, Poke It with a Sharp Stick*, is finally ready for prime time, and best of all, it’s available in .PDF format right here at the Zone! (If anyone needs another format, let me know, I’ll see what I can do.)
Best of all, it’s completely free! Yaay! Hoo-rah! (And let’s not forget wazzoo, whoop-te-do, and hubba-hubba!) That’s right, it won’t cost you a nickel. Nada. Nuthin’. Zilch.
Inside this 21-page book you’ll find six of my favorite stories from the Middle Zone, all of which are (as they used to say at Mad Magazine) “suitable for framing or wrapping fish”. In fact (in case your bird cage needs a new liner), it’s formatted for easy printing on letter-size paper (just set your printer to “Portrait” mode and print – easy!)
Pretty soon (translation: as soon as I figure out how – bear with me, I’m a slow learner) I’ll have a cute little link up there in the left sidebar. In the meantime, go ahead, take as many as you like.
[UPDATE: The link is up there now (in the upper left sidebar); just right-click and save!
Read and enjoy, then (should you be so inclined) drop me a line and tell me what you think. Have I got a future as a writer? As a blogger? As a crash-test dummy?
Oh, and – pass it on, too.
*I’d like to thank Roger von Oech at Creative Think for suggesting the title (you can see it down in the comments). Roger, at least by my standards, is a genuinely whacky guy – after all, he invented the Ball of Whacks!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Lookin good my man and in time for the weekend. Can’t wait to read it. Congratulations!
Robert,
I read your ebook, and enjoyed it, my friend. I like the stories you tell, and the way you write. Congratulations on “Poke it With a Sharp Stick”!
Thanks, Tariq! I’m looking forward to using the Charlie’s Hamburgers measure of success: “Over two dozen

Finally found time to read.
The “About the Author” has me in stitches

Thanks, Karin. I think. Hmmm, let’s see now, out of six stories, the thing you liked best was… “About the Author”?
Gee, I’m going to have to write better stories!
Kidding, Karin! Thanks for the kind thoughts. Hopefully we’ll see another book soon!
Ok, should have said:
The “About the Author” has me in stitches tooooooo
’s that better?
Friends again?
Karin H.
I knew that!
Friends always!
Tried to download it, but I couldn’t find the link – maybe I’m stupid, or there’s something with my Mac or Safari browser settings that mean it’s not showing. Whatever – I looked all over the page, and hovered my cursor on just about every word/graphic.

Terribly sorry, Matt; I completely forgot I’ve removed this item from distribution and forgot to update the post. However I do have a new book available, should you be interested – just click on the “MZM Books” tab up there at the top.
