Sometime in between the Spring 2023 publication of my first book and the eventual (I hope!) publication of my proposed book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1), I intend to poke at the idea of self-publishing a collection of my short stories. Because...why not? Here is the tentative Table of Contents for that hypothetical collection, Guitars Vs. Rayguns!
Guitars Vs. Rayguns!
Home Of The Hits
Pop Friction
Montie Pylon Finds His Holy Grail
The Picture Of Amontillado
Sword Of The Chosen One
The Greatest Thud Never Heard
Rain-Hat Sam
The Traitor's Tour Guide To Hell
Dreaming Deadly
Seven Minutes To Blackout
The Junk Food Of Your Life
All of the above is very much subject to change, and the whole idea is still in the Hey-wouldn't-it-be-cool? stage. The book will not contain any of my connected Copperhead Kid stories; I would still prefer to develop those into a novel instead.
Three of the stories listed here have not yet been completed, and could certainly be removed from the book if, y'know, I don't feel like finishing them in the short term. With or without them, I think I have enough material to move forward.
That other book coming out in the spring is the first priority, and I'm continuing to work on the GREM! book, too. But that's all nonfiction, and I feel a need to get a book of my fiction out into the world. My expectations are modest. Nonetheless, I do think it's about time I told some stories.
