Under a Scar-Filled Sky:
The Buddy Zinn Mysteries
​
Originally appearing in four flash fictions in the short story collection "Little Apples: A Story Cycle" (also available on Lulu), Buddy Zinn came to life in this "Under a Scar Filled Sky" and to the stage in February, 2013, at Dixon Place Theater in New York City's Lower East Side, directed by Mahayana Landowne and starring Jeffrey Emerson with original music by Blaise Siwula. The six scenes build on Buddy's internal world of besotted Buddhist musings and mythological fascinations
I'm currently working on a new collection of stories, based aroound different holidays. I occaisionally and temporarily post them to my Lulu store (where these books can also be found) so check in there on now and then for the occasional surprise.
And thanks for visiting!
