Straw Man
This #brandedtale unfolds in the country at Skeeter Barn Farms.

Skeeter Barn Farms
"Coboss. It's a
straw man of a story..." takes place at Skeeter Barn Farms, which is just a short cattle drive from Radio Mountain, using the
cow pool lanes.
In addition to
authoring and self-publishing this original short story, I've enjoyed the
creative process of developing the social media and web presence for the Coboss
Media Group.
Kicking around ideas:
★ Creating a 30-second trailer highlighting the appeal of the
story-line, theme, location and characters
★ Exploring the adapted screenplay potential as a feature-length
CGI or animated film
Here's the pitch to
the big movie production company:
Cow pool lanes. A wind
storm. Udder chaos!

hot rod sled
Holiday Hot Rod
by J.M. Franklin
An ancient custom metallic red sled. Thirty-two hooves pull it ahead. One night
in December this machine always flies, guided by stars as it cruises the sky.
Like sure footed cheetahs flying a fleet, these star-bound reindeer have never been beat. With a quick dash of nitrous, it soars to new heights, a silver red rocket, the sled blasts through the night.
At the end of the run the job is complete; suddenly lighter with an empty back seat! Back to the shop for a tweak and a tune, the hot rod sled is on jacks until June.
The master mechanic with the snowy white beard has more horsepower in mind as next Christmas draws near.

Coboss. It's a straw man of a story...
Earlier in the year I published my first story: Coboss. It's a straw man of a story...
It's the tale of an erstwhile scarecrow that aspires to work at the farm radio station.
The digital book version of the story is available for purchase here.
