SMALL TALK & OTHER DEAD ENDS is the title of my new book, a collection of short stories.

Let's listen as a character from one of the stories introduce herself.

Hello, I’m Holly Blackhill. I am one of the main characters in a recent short story written and published by Charles E. Meads. Charles asked me to introduce myself. Let me be honest with you. I’m a gifted person, but some of my talents are, how should I say it, not socially acceptable. My work ethic has led former employers to fear my skills. I am always well paid for completed projects. I drive a white BMW X7 M60i with a red interior. My lavish NY condo overlooks Central Park. Most of my contracts involve travel, but occasionally, if the payout is compelling, I’ll work in the city. I resent having to work with indolent people. They make hideous mistakes. I don’t make mistakes. Don’t forget: my story and numerous others are available in the book Small Talk & Other Dead Ends, written by Charles E. Meads. It’s listed on Amazon.
