Beefcake

The great thing about designing your own cover is that you can go completely nuts.

I made this one years ago when I first spotted the magnificently cheese-tastic stock photo of a handsome man on the beach. The pose reminded me of classic pulp covers.

I couldn’t resist; I added a turgid sky and faux tear and wear, and had my own pulp cover. I finally have enough old summer-themed short stories—some of them out of print—for a small anthology and an excuse to reveal Mr. Beefcake to the world. Short Shorts is now live on Amazon and ARe.
