Local Read a Short Story Day

I’ve created a special event…Local Read a Short Story Day!  Now, there’s already the ‘famous’ Short Story Day on December 21st, but it’s as much about writing short stories as it is about reading, and that’s where my special day is different.

To celebrate LRSSD (Local Read a Short Story Day), I’m giving away one of my dad’s tales to anyone who wants to read it.  Here are three to pick from…

  1. A Tree for Tomorrow – Revisiting a childhood home, when you expect the worst, can sometimes provide a happy ending.
  2. And Above All Honor – What causes some people, even children, to seek service in the military during a war?
  3. Relocation Nation – You’re an American citizen of Japanese descent and all is good during the early 1940’s until something called WWII.

Reach out to me with the story you want and I’ll email it back to you, and in the event I get SO many requests, I can’t reply to you before LRSSD is over, I’m hereby authorizing a daily extension of the special day.  That way, if your story doesn’t arrive until tomorrow or the next day or next month, you’ll still be reading it on Local Read a Short Story Day.

P.S.  If you’ve already requested a free story from me, you can ask for another one to celebrate this special day.
