My col­lec­tion of short sto­ries, The Heav­i­est Cor­ner on Earth is free for one day only on Ama­zon. Down­load it now! Go, Go!

Here’s a description:

This col­lec­tion of short sto­ries fol­lows a hand­ful of char­ac­ters as their lives cross paths in Birm­ing­ham, Alabama, a city known for its his­tory of civil rights strug­gles, its iron ore min­ing and for being home to an inter­sec­tion fondly known as “The Heav­i­est Cor­ner on Earth.”

Sto­ries include “Per­fect Enough,” which fol­lows Ebony, an African-American teen des­per­ate to win a beauty pageant in which she’s the only black con­tes­tant, “Hold On,” the story of ware­house worker Terry, who yearns to keep his fam­ily together in the face of infi­delity and eco­nomic depres­sion, and “The Last Parade,” a piece that fol­lows an elderly woman’s slow decline into dementia.

But wait, there’s more: If you down­load the ebook of this col­lec­tion of short sto­ries, you’ll get the first chap­ter of my young adult novel Dar­win, Singer for free.
