Long Limbed Tales
If you enjoy Fiddle and Burn, you might also wish to sample one or two LONG LIMBED TALES. Told in the style of the Brothers Grimm, the methods and techniques of these stories are old but the scenery and characters are as modern as the latest web browser.
Shakespeare's Sonnets
A buddy of mine, who has been advised to remain anonymous, drank a bit too much and got into a barroom brawl. Now he’s been ordered by the courts to participate in a program designed to use poetry to make violent offenders more sensitive.

Over the course of the following [...] |
