If you're new here, I just want to say how much I appreciate your dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!

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!

That’s right, the Middle Zone’s 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 you would like it in another format, please 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!)

It’s very simple to get it; just click the title in the button below.

Go ahead, take as many as you like! Read and enjoy, then (should you be so inclined) drop me a line, use the contact form or what the heck, just leave a comment here and tell me what you think. Think I have a future as a writer? As a blogger? As a crash-test dummy? Let me know!

Oh, and - pass it on, too.
