I finally posted the new issue of my monthly literary blog-zine Truckin'. The January issue features stories from two poker bloggers... HDouble and the Poker Penguin. If you'd like to submit a story for an upcoming issue... drop me an e-mail and I'll tell you the guidelines. I hope you enjoy the stories.
January 2004 Truckin' (Vol. 3, Issue 1)
A new year, a new issue, and a new writer! Richard Bulkeley, a fellow poker blogger from New Zealand joins the staff this month with a nice air travel piece. Henry Wasserman returns with the second installment of his novel The Escape Artist. And our favorite Norwegian blogger, Sigge, recants the time he was mugged in Cuba. And I wrote three stories for this issue, one about Miami, one about traveling in 2003 and the last one is a short story that I hope you like. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! Thanks for your support, McG!

4. The Escape Artist: Novel Excerpt #2 by Henry Wasserman
He felt a tinge of fear when he heard the surprise in her voice. He remembered the first time he'd gotten hurt, seeing the eyes of his high school trainer after he'd heard something in his knee pop. But John felt confident in his self diagnosis - he hadn't been wrong in years... More
5. Mile High Fate by Richard Bulkeley
I have spent a wonderfully depressing length of my life in airplanes. It is wonderful, because I am usually going somewhere exciting. It is depressing because, well because it is air travel... More
6. Never Trust a Naked Guy Juggling Three Cantaloupes by Tenzin McGrupp
With her lanky fingers drenched in top shelf vodka, she unsympathetically popped both olives deep into her gaping mouth. She sensuously and slowly licked both fingers, and almost fell off her bar stool when she caught me staring at her... More
