My unstory will follow the prompt and the blue frog link. 😉

THE ULTIMATE COP OUT

            “It’s a fantastic prompt,” I tell Doug. 

            “I’ll take history for $30,” I mumble as I read an article about Roald Amundsen, the first person to reach the South Pole.

            After days of edits, illustrations, full time job issues and insomnia, my busy brain, swirling with a thousand-thoughts-a-minute, is at a loss for a flash fiction.

            Word came this week that my novel is going to be released in two weeks. So soon? I just sent the manuscript back to the publisher and I’m still writing acknowledgements.

            “Another time, Roald.” I click out of Wikipedia. “No story this week.”

It’s true. For the first time in three years, I didn’t have the head space to write a story. I hope you’ll find it in your hearts to forgive me.  Last week I received an email from my publisher with the following notice: 

Beginning on April 20 Please Say Kaddish For Me will be available to preorder from Kindle in ebook form and to preorder from http://www.a-argusbooks.com/GalleryComing.htm in print form. Release date scheduled for May 8.
