I had the pleasure of talking with the Curator of the National Mustard Museum over the weekend. He heard about my short story, and included our discussion in their monthly newsletter:

The Mustard Museum has seriously fun people, great products and super deals.

Comments are more than welcome!

Everyone's favorite dysfunctional crime family celebrates Independence Day in classic mobster style in the fifth installment of the worldwide, bestselling short story series.

Join them at an annual barbeque as they try to stop “hot” fireworks from exploding too early, enjoy non-traditional picnic food, and uncover a strange good-luck charm that could reign death and destruction before the day ends.

The discovery of a valuable asset will change their lives forever and uncover their own idea of the American Dream.

A nice review by author Roberta Goodman:

2nd in the Young at Heart Series...





In this second short story in the series, Frannie chooses a hands-on French cooking class as their outing. As they struggle with the “right” way to spice up their lives (both in and out of the kitchen), they discover that their strength as a couple depends on their ability to “wing it.” They also discover that “winging it” with raw oysters, a bottle of wine and an eccentric French cook can make for one interesting date.

Great reviews for my Mobster stories: http://kingsriverlife.com/01/21/coffe....
