We write the kind of stories we like to read. Upbeat stories where the protagonist gets handed the sticky end of things but with cleverness and persistence manages to beat someone over the head with it. With luck, he or she grows a bit and maybe finds romance and happiness.
At least, until the next story. Life is boring (for a protagonist) when there are no problems.
We enjoy writing these, and hope you'll enjoy reading them.
A long time ago (1985) Mary Ellen Wessels and Clif recorded a tape of filk music in Bob Laurent's living room on his State-of-the-Art 4 track cassette deck. Bob passed away a few years ago, and the masters of those sessions have been slowly finding their way back into circulation in one form or another. Clif put the Fragile Wall tape into public domain, so it's free to listen to. Fragile Wall.
