Letters to the Editor,
touching letters that I do appreciatePORTLAND!
For the last issue I asked
contributors to write about my hometown, Portland, Oregon. A few took me
up on the idea. And I wrote a longish short story featuring Portland.
Hope you like my tribute to Portland.

The Serial Killer issue (summer of 2021):
As promised, the serial killer stories, for your
entertainment. The contributors loved this writing prompt. They sent everything from
the silliest to the most horrible, gut wrenching stories I've read in a
long time.
Applause, Applause and thanks to all of you who played along. On short notice you came
through with some of the best writing ever submitted to Clever. The
tales are all terrific in their gruesome way.
