Wait! Did You Hear That? Anthropomorphic Snow Sculptures


Have you ever wondered what might actually happen if a magic hat were able to bring a snowman to life?

Have you ever cast an uncomfortable glance over your shoulder when passing the silent snowy sentinels that stand so eerily quiet as you pass by on the icy sidewalk?

Have you ever marveled at the secret life of anthropomorphic snow sculptures?

Then you might enjoy Snowman Shivers: Two Dark Humor Tales About Snowmen.

 
Free Audiobook Download

Since today is March 15th, the Ides of March, I thought it might be fun to share the audio version of this mini story collection. Click the link above to download the audio file.

The eBook is also free on most eBook retail platforms.



The collection includes the tales Ides of March and That Old Silk Hat They Found. It also includes a "behind the stories" section as well as a short history of snowmen in popular culture.

You can also ask for the book in print, audiobook or eBook at most public libraries. Here is the OverDrive link to the eBook and Audiobook version.

In addition, here's a reading I did of That Old Silk Hat They Found back in April 2018.



Enjoy!

Spring Is Sprung, The Sun is Riz, I Wonder Where The Snowman Is

Ah, the joy and wonder of spring.

The temperature rises, mother nature begins to peek out from under the slowly melting snow.

All is wonderful and joyous as "new life" takes form in the annual cycle of life.

All is good, of course, for everybody except certain creatures.

Like snowmen.

What does spring mean for a snowman?



That's exactly what the two dark humor stories in SNOWMAN SHIVERS explore, each in slightly different ways.

THAT OLD SILK HAT THEY FOUND - What might really happen if a snowman were brought to life. Would he really be jolly and happy? Would he dance around, singing? How could he? He doesn't even have legs!

IDES OF MARCH - Taxes are due soon. But that's just a minor annoying deadline. There are more urgent things to be concerned about. Such as why a pair of odd strangers are kidnapping snowmen.



The eBook is free virtually everywhere. Check it out at various online retailers.

If you prefer to watch me read the first story in this collection "That Old Silk Hat They Found" (my attempt to wonder if a snowman that suddenly came to life might actually be a jolly, happy soul) via this #FreeFridayFrights video from April 2018.


You can also watch the video on my author Facebook page.

Enjoy. And happy spring.

Just try not to think about what it means for those delightful masses of snow that we enjoy building and then just forgetting about.
