What Is This? Some say life’s a path winding through a forest of endless possibilities. Well…we’ll see. In the meantime, Crazy Man and the dog, Sidestepper, will be following that path through the deep dark scary woods every Tuesday and Thursday in a twice weekly saga of their journey.    

And who are Crazy Man and the dog, Sidestepper?    I’m not sure. I’m still learning.     Crazy Man was under his bed with an empty bottle of wine for a long time before he decided to look into “this outside thing.” His body exists in one dimension and his mind in another and he’s never been sure which is which. Once on the path, the past begins to slip away and he can’t remember if he has a kitchen or not. Or a garage.     

The dog, Sidestepper, is looking for the mother who abandoned him when he was a puppy, causing his body to stay the same size and his legs to grow into long skinny stilts that make him look strangely like an egret nest perched on top of power lines. But don’t think about that…you’ll dream. It won’t be nice.  And he walks sideways. Always.    After a short confrontational greeting during which Crazy Man assures the dog, Sidestepper, that he’s not his mother, the two decide to travel together down the path of adventure and new meanings through the deep dark scary woods.    

What awaits them will change their already weird lives into…well…something weirder. You’re welcome to join them on their journey every Wednesday but, be warned, nothing good can come of this. 

Same as to your left only I started bringing them out once a week. 

Twice a week was driving me crazy and the death threats were kind of weird. 

This is all totally free stuff (workshops, stories, articles and other stuff)  with no expectation of payment or delivery of your first born. 

Shown in the image is a book of short stories I've had published in various ezines, literary journals and anthologies. 

The workshops are drawn from a decade of teaching creative writing workshops through the University of New Brunswick and a few other venues. 

 A few years ago, I put the workshops together into a book called "Writing Hurts Like Hell: How to Write a Novel When You Don't Have Time to Write a Short Story.

5 out of 5  

This was an excellent collection of stories. My first thought when I began reading was, what have I gotten myself into? Not in a bad way. But in an ‘I can’t wait to see where these stories take me next’ way. 

It was easy to get wrapped up in them, following each unique tale from start to finish. Stories that will make you think, give you chills, and sometimes will just leave you with a feeling that something is a bit odd, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. 

If you’re a fan of the weird, speculative fiction, or just looking for something new to shake up your reading routine, then you’ll want to grab this book.  

Liliyanna Shadowlyn The Faerie Review Book Blog 

These are novels, short fiction and a book on how to write novels.  

I write mostly cyberpunk, magical realism and humor.  

Everything else was written by another Biff. 

I have reviews for some of them here (click the titles to download the reviews):

The Weekly Man

The War Bug

Team Player

Shown above is the cover of one of my Boston Jonson cyber mysteries. 

It's a Novel 

The Weekly Man is , like it says above, the world's first free daily serialized coffee break novel. I checked this out on the internet and, yes, I get to claim this title along with having published the world's first laundromance.    

 If you're just coming here for the first time and the novel has already started, you can click the From the Start link below and catch up.  That will mean opening a lot of separate PDF files. See the NOTE above to avoid this at all costs.     

There are also links for the blog version (best on laptops and desktops) and a cell version (best on phones).
