My Sexy Date With Bigfoot Cover Illustration

This book contains 10 previously unpublished short stories as well as an excerpt from my unpublished novel, "Long Gold Road" It is 122 pages and only $9.99 for the Kindle version. Watch this space for updates on the softcover and hardcover versions.

Here is a sneak peak of the eponymous short story. Peggy is getting ready for her date with Bigfoot.  Until tonight, their relationship has existed entirely online. She is in her bedroom with her best friend Megan and her younger sister Denise. 

“We exchanged pictures,” said Peggy. She grabbed a small, bejeweled picture frame off the dresser. She tossed it roughly to Megan who had to roll to the side to avoid being hit. It lands harmlessly on the bed. 


Megan picked it up. Obviously Peggy has printed it out from her computer. It showed a large furry creature in mid-stride walking in a clearing. He is turned to face the camera. The picture is quite blurry. The original must have been small as it is also quite pixelated. 


“This is the picture he sent you?” said Megan. 


“Yes.” said Peggy. 


Denise crossed her arms and shot her a stern look. 


“What? Okay he didn’t send it to me. It’s from his profile,” said Peggy. 


“This picture is the famous frame 352 from the Patterson-Gimlin film.” said Megan. Peggy and Denise just looked at her blankly. 


“This picture was taken in 1967!” said Megan.


“Maybe it was Throwback Thursday?” said Denise. Peggy shrugged. Denise hopped off the bed and began to look for shoes. 


“I thought you were on my side?” said Megan.


“I know a girl who was catfished online,” said Denise. “”She talked to this guy online for six months. He told her he was a rapper. He seemed very nice. On their first date, it turns out he was nothing but a catfish.”


“That’s not true,” said Peggy. 


“Yup. Mekong giant catfish. 10 feet long, 600 lbs.” said Denise. 


“A Mekong giant catfish?” said Megan. “But aren’t they native to the Mekong basin in Southeast Asia?”


“”I think she said he was here on business,” said Denise.

Lemons: An Original, Never Before Published Story

  Lemons by Gary Cohen Dave was tired after a long day at work, and living in a five story walk up didn’t help.  There was some leftover Chinese food in the fridge. Possibly even an egg roll.  It was the only thing keeping him going.  When he unlocked the door to his apartment and stepped inside, he was shocked to see such a large group of his friends waiting for him. Paul and Becca were on the love seat. Julie was in the recliner and Bruce was next to her in the good chair from the kitchen. Zach sat on the floor in front of them playing with some Batman Lego. Maggie stood against the wall trying to blend into the faded wallpaper. Jorge was pacing the hall but he had stopped when Dave walked in.  Dave was puzzled. If he didn’t know better he would have thought it was a surprise party. But his birthday had been just last month. And everyone wore such serious expressions. And no one had yelled, “surpise!” “Hey... everybody,” said Dave. “Hello, Dave,” said Becca....

Poetry and Motrin

  Gentle Readers, I have the opportunity to submit some poems to an anthology and it's giving me a headache.  It is an anthology for humorous poetry which I feel like is pretty unusual.  The problem is you can only submit three, and at this point I'm writing three to four every day.  Quantity over quality.  So, I'm going to post the ones I've been considering and leave in the comments your favorite 3.  Okay? Thanks.  Also, I'm planning to publish my own anthology very soon. So keep your eyes and wallets open for that.  Also, also, I opened a Fiverr account where you can buy some custom, sweet poetry of your own.  (1) FDA Food Code 2017: Section 6-301.12 Employees Must Wash Hands!
