New Feature Story – Lourdes’ One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Posted on May 19, 2021 by Mike

This story is about being creative when you cook, but in case you already are a creative baker, it includes a great chocolate cake recipe. I wrote it as part of a feature writing class that I took at the University Of Massachusetts-Lowell.

Read my Short Story about Woz and the Apple 1

Posted on March 4, 2021 by Mike

You can download this story from my new feature story web page. As well documented as the Apple 1 is, this story contains a few tidbits that haven’t been published before.

Going forward, I hope to add a new story to this page every month or two. These stories are going to a be a little more polished than my blog entries and other web pages.
