October News

By Gary Applegary | October 6, 2010 |

Wow, there’s lots to get done here at The Orchard!

I have some old unfinished childrens’ stories that need to get updated. “Which Sandwich?” for example

I need to scan and upload the “I No Monkey” series, as I strongly believe that monkeys are ALWAYS funny.

I also have a few more serious works in the making. Nothing too heavy, but maybe not so light either. You may notice the new Category, “Dreadtime Stories.” You may notice more stories appearing there. Read them to yourself at your own risk. I’m thinking you maybe should NOT read them to your kids, your guppies, or any small fuzzy animals you may have around your house. At any rate, I have a few things to add there also.

I also have some poetry that isn’t quite as silly as the normal fare. It still rhymes, though. Mostly.

As always, your feedback is appreciated! Thanks, and keep coming back for more new stuff!
