Having been on-staff from 1997-2002 of the strange little magazine Lollipop (which is primarily a punk rock-oriented thing...and as I'm a jazz-lover with an ear toward fine progressive rock), I've never been able to figure out Lollipop's interest in me: other than that its owner loves black-satire, and my short stories are the blackest of gallows humor.
So, as my collection of short stories--Dogshit Park & other atrocities--is long waylaid to No Commercial Interest, and as I'm still holding out hope that some maverick editor-in-chief will see that I am basically the heir to Terry Southern/William Burroughs/Hunter S. Thompson, am pleased that Lollipop has just recently compiled a page of all of my then-writings for the magazine.
Having dedicated my creative efforts towards Right/libertarian politics and the formation of Web sites for many years, I find that I've not written fiction since about 1997.
This is a trip down memory lane for me. I hope you enjoy it:

[Addendum: I had minor beefs with Lollipop owner/publisher Scott Hefflon over lineation of prose, and of some printing errors; and I've rewritten about 2% of the total content since-publication. Not everything reads exactly as I'm planning for it to read, in Dogshit Park. But Mr. Hefflon was kind enough to "discover" me, as a short story writer, and this will have to do, for now.]
