Just thought I'd let y'all know that my short story, Maui Madness, is out at Long Story Short now. I've been working on that one for a while and it sat on the back-burner for a long time before I submitted it anywhere.
Here is an excerpt...
Maui Madness
by Dana Sieben
"Holy moly...Jeeeeeez!" was the first thing that came out of SandyÂs open mouth as her rented bike took the first curve in the series of switchbacks at what seemed to be about one-hundred miles an hour.
The brochure from the hotel that her boyfriend, Joe, had shown her had said it was to be a half-day ride down Mount Haleakala and ending in the beautiful, coastal town of Paia. No biggie. It was nothing like the bungee-jumping, cliff-climbing, hang-gliding vacations that he usually preferred.
The name of the company had even sounded safe; Aloha Bike Tours. It had lulled her into thinking that it would be a nice little ride, see some scenery, you knowÂ
relaxing, outdoorsy stuff, see some birdies then go back to the beach. But no, it had to be a non-stop, coasting-down-the-side-of-a-volcano-on-a-road-with-no-guardrails kind of excursion with a lean, browned, Hawaiian guide who was riding backwards, of all things. Backwards!
"Joe is a nut, Joe is a nut," she gritted through her teeth. An absolute certified nut! And she would tell him that as soon as they managed to get off this cinder cone of death. Yep! ThatÂs what she would do, she vowed.
Y'all go on over to Long Story Short and read the rest. I think it's fun. Also, over at Muscadine Lines, my poem, Autumn, is out just in time for the beginning of the fall season. I hope you enjoy both.
Coming soon...another poem by Dana Sieben in USA Deep South. Now I know y'all will want to check back on that, right? Yeah. ;)

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy
A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
