Paperback, ebook, and audiobook editions are available on Amazon.

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.

Jon loves talking with readers and encourages readers to connect with him on Facebook, on Twitter @JonSindell, and on Instagram at jonsnndellwrites.

Reviews

[Patricia Bergman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some of these short flash stories are very clever. This is my first experience with this particular genre and I enjoyed many of the selections. Jon Sindell has an active imagination.

I've been following Sindell and he has revealed himself as a master of flash. This collection delivers so many fabulous characters and blows in such tight spaces -- it's a fabulous ride. Sindell also moves and stuns with his particular knack for drawing credible and memorable adolescents and parents.
