The Florida Stories
October-December 2024
Summer is upon us, magic in its way of slowing the pace.
For me though, summer is the time I find time to get organized. And these days, my mind is on legacy, on how best to archive my work for my family. Because it’s all a bit of a whammer jammer mess at the moment.
The Florida Stories seem a good place to start.
As bad as our press reads, this beautiful state has been my home for longer than I care to remember. She is a gorgeous misunderstood wonder, a wild girl running wild through much of what I write.
The Florida Stories will be grouped chronologically as posted here at Shared Madness. Today’s first batch spans October 2024 through December 2024. Expect a series here and there, maybe monthly to keep me accountable.
The direct link to the publisher of the work is provided (if the link is viable).
The Shared Madness link to the story stack is also provided.
I’ve been fortunate my work found homes with lit mags that encourage a bit of a dwell, an exploration of the archives.
Take a few to the beach.
As always, thanks to the editors who published these stories and thank you for reading Shared Madness.
Be safe. The gators have that fake smile down pat.

Sheree, seems to me you have a collection here! Have you ever thought about sending it out as a whole MS, or even putting the stories together as a self-published collection? I know how some people feel about self-publishing, but I love it. Putting together a book brings together the art of fiction and the book arts. 📚
