Chapbook

/ peterjstavros

So if you’ve read my short story collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village, and thought how you might need a few more stories about this quirky and eccentric group, well, you’re in luck, because coming November 1, I’m releasing (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village-The Complete Year, with five new stories further chronicling their near catastrophes and calamities. The new stories (and, thus, new perceived problems for these folks) are:

  • The Time Ted Canari Took a Beach Vacation
  • The Time the Potato Festival Finally Returned to Birchmont Village Only to Nearly Be Lost Again
  • The Time the Black Friday Sale at Lilabelle Durham’s Upscale Boutique Got a Little Out of Hand
  • The Time Movie Night Turned Into a Rock Concert
  • The Time the Johnson Family Moved

Pre-order is happening now at Amazon for Kindle, and there will also be a paperback version released on November 1 as well. So make yourself some s’mores, and pick up a copy!

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday! I wanted to share a 5-STAR review my short story collection, THREE IN THE MORNING AND YOU DON’T SMOKE ANYMORE (INSOMNIA EDITIONJ), received from BigAl’s Books and Pals — calling it, in part, a “thought-provoking read” — and to let you know that to celebrate, starting this Wednesday, September 21, and lasting for only one week, the e-book will be on sale for just 99 cents, exclusively on Amazon.

To mark the two-year anniversary of the publication of my chapbook, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore, I’ve released a special, expanded e-book version, Insomnia Edition, which contains three new, never-before-published stories: “Shrink,” “Tattoo,” and “Karaoke Night.” It’s available starting today, exclusively on Amazon and for Kindle Unlimited. And if you haven’t bought a copy of the print version yet (and why haven’t you?!!!), I just posted on my Medium page a story from that, “Sometimes You See That Girl.” Have a great rest of the week!

Plays

Tonight is opening night for Strongbox Theater’s music and play festival, “Strongbox in the Park,” which includes my play SQUIRRELS IN A KNOTHOLE – if you’re in the Long Island NY area over the next three weekends, check this out!

Fiction

Hello, my friends, and happy, um … what day is it, Tuesday? I lose track anymore. I haven’t posted lately because I’ve been busy working on some longer pieces, but I have had time to dash off a bit of flash, “The Water”, which is another in what I call my “Sadie Stories” – until I come up with a better name for it (and I still intend on putting all these together into one collection). Anyway, this story, via the link above, just went live today at Pocket Fiction, which has a lot of great writing, so definitely check this website out. I also just recorded a version of me reading this, which may end up on their podcast, and if so, I’ll provide more info. Have a great week!

Novella

Big Al’s Books & Pals calls Tryouts a “quick, fun, intense, and even a bit inspiring read.” If you haven’t yet read my novella – which follows one young man’s quest to make the varsity basketball team – what are you waiting for?!!!

Plays

I’m excited to announce that my play SQUIRRELS IN A KNOTHOLE will be part of “Strongbox in the Park: A Festival of Stage and Song” produced by Strongbox Theater this summer, in three consecutive weekends from July 22 – August 7, outside and under the stars at Memorial Park in East Rockaway, NY. If you’re in area then, definitely check out it – just beware of hawks!

Hello my friends, and Happy March! I’m excited to announce that my novella, Tryouts, will be released on March 15 (to coincide with the start of a certain basketball tournament that takes place each March). Presales will be available in the next day or so on Amazon. In the meantime, I’ve posted an excerpt of it HERE on my Medium page.
