Jon's long-story collection, Family Happiness—so elusive, so ideal—was published by Big Table in 2016. His flash fiction collection, The Roadkill Collection, was published by the same house in 2014. A specially abridged audio edition of The Roadkill Collection is now available on Amazon, iTunes, and Audible.

Jon writes fiction (quite truthful), humor (intentionally, often), and essays (not graded, thankfully). Many of Jon's shorter works may be seen at jonsindell.com.

Jon curates the Rolling Writers reading series in San Francisco. A former lawyer, Jon is now a full-time personal humanities tutor of students from middle school through college. Great fun.

Reviews

[Jon Sindell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I won't review this since I'm the author, but if you think you might like a tender tale of an innocent young city-parks gardener who must rely on a simple good nature to content with thorns botanical and human, this just might be your flower bed. Bonus "Peanuts" reference for keen-eyed readers!
