New Short Story Will You Please Listen Please Now Available
Here is the third free short story available to email subscribers for free! And ahead of the Nov. 5 release date! The story looks at communication. It begins with a married couple sitting at dinner making small talk. The story alternates point of view from wife to husband and back and forth until the conclusion. This is a very dark story about how a lack of communication can have dire consquences. I love all my stories but this one I feel is one of my very best stories! I encourage you to email family and close friends with a link to the story and encourage them to join my email contact list.
I would love to have some feedback and reaction to the story for posting on Facebook and my website.

Every Tuesday and Friday at 10:30 a.m. I post an article about writing. It may be what I'm working on or something about stories and writing in general. It's a fun and interesting look at how a writer looks at things. I'm looking for people to read the blog, comment on the articles and follow my blog.
Last Friday's blog was about a story that possessed me. I had to write it until it was fully out.
Please get the word out to family and friends who might be interested. You can get to the blog via the Heibel Media website or easier yet this link: heibelmedia.blogspot.com
