“Typical. Of Course It Worked!” published by The Piker Press this week
The Piker Press published a short nonfiction piece of mine this week that is termed an “essay” in that publication which in this case basically means a short true story, meant to be funny. Specifically an old college story which (hopefully) ends on a funny note.
You can find and read Typical. Of Course It Worked! at The Piker Press’s website, more specifically on the piece’s own webpage. Comments

Among my most prized possessions are several books he autographed for me while he was still alive. I really miss him. I'm curious what your favorite Buk book is...? I'm partial to Play The Piano Drunk... as that was the first book of his I ever read. It made a huge impact on me.
I look forward to chatting about books with you too. Cheers!
