Lucky 13

Among the thirteen stories in this collection, you'll meet Nick Friedman PI on his morning bike ride around Prospect Park.  You'll listen in on a confessional near the New Jersey Turnpike. You'll watch a dystopic courtroom adjudicating the cases of the disabled young under the new Cuddle Law.  You'll eat lunch at a deli in the Bronx. You'll experience a not-so-good magician's piece de resistance.

Many of these stories are flash fiction, stories of 1,000 words or fewer.  Some are memoir; others sci-fi.  Some rework famous Old Testament stories. All are tightly crafted tales woven by a master story-teller, easy on the eyes, and challenging to the heart and mind, often offering the reader a wry smile
