LONG MOUNTAIN BOOKS
“SQUEAKS, GRUNTS AND HOWLS"
"JABS"
See other pages for more detail on each of these works, future projects and contact information.
This collection of twenty five short stories takes “jabs” at various topical subjects, such as public buildings named after the philanthropic donor, the difference between a "criminal" and a "lawbreaker", how to choose the right religion, the Fourth of July, war movies, life after death, television advertising, and more. These stories are not intended to deliver a “knockout punch” like a footnoted essay or article, but instead bring the topic to mind in an unexpected context to hit the reader with a quick "jab" and provoke a reaction.

This is a collection of twenty separate writings that are organized by the intensity of the voice of the writing. A “Squeak”
is the short but sharp sound of these general observations or comments not in the form of a story. A “Grunt” is the unhappy sound
found in these short stories confronting a disquieting reality. A “Howl” is the cry of alarm or pain in these short stories
which takes on a sharper edge of life.
