You Name Him You Claim Him: Any Man Can Be Yours!

Honestly, I had no plan to take another stab at short form humor—this one just wrote itself overnight! And now I'm tickled (and a little scared) to share You Name Him You Claim Him: Any Man Can Be Yours! my second story in The Haven, a Medium publication. Please note: hyperbole (EXAGGERATION) is a defining feature of satire. You’ll find maybe one or two inspirational grains of truth here, waving in a wheat field of fiction:) I hope it gives you a chuckle anyway!

How to Win the Battle of Words with your Teen

Last spring, I took a stab at short form humor: How to Win the Battle of Words with Your Teen. Satire is not my bag, neither is the soldier story genre, but the chance to hone a new skill (plus the lure of cash and prizes) led to this lampoon, inspired by some struggles to connect with my teen. (Glad to say we enjoy more truces than active combat these days:) I didn't win Medium's Slackjaw Challenge, but I'm thrilled the story still found a very good home in The Haven. I hope it gives you a laugh.
