Welcome to the Heibel Media Newsletter
May 2014

April was a crazy month with the moving of my home and business and I finished the month with a nasty chest cold that kept me down, but not out. Despite all the life drama, I wrote almost as much as I did in March and I completed a perfect Write 365 Initiative and started another immediately after!

With all this, there's a new short story available and from a news angle, I hope to report next month some serious progress on the completion of the novel Reunion.

So read on and enjoy my stories!

New Short Story At The Intersection Available Tuesday May 6!

Here is the 9th free short story available to email subscribers for free!

This short story was inspired by the winter we just had, a similar but less dangerous intersection and a moment of drowsiness at that intersection. The story looks at a moment in time for three people at an icy intersection and what happens there to change two of their lives.
