Looking for a quick entertainment boost?

Download my original short story “Peg Leg & the Pygmy.” You’ll follow the tale of a granddaughter and her one-legged grandpa as they confront threats—both real and fictitious—using the power of their imaginations.

Perfect for fans of Swallows and Amazons and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (in miniature).

A clay figurine of an old man with suspenders and a peg leg smiles up at the camera, his wrinkled face cheerful. Next to the image of him is a cover image for a book with a sailing ship and the words: Peg Leg and The Pygmy by Yvonne McArthur

Literary Good Taste

I like the good writing and variety you’ve included… I’ve recommended your emails to friends who don’t know you as well and I think it’s worth their while too. Especially if they like having a bit of literary good taste come into their life through email.

If your inbox is anything like mine, signing up for yet another electronic missive may sound as disagreeable as chewing shoe leather.

But just think how refreshing it would be if in the midst of all those webinar invites, advertisements, and long-winded updates, you got a shot glass of wordy entertainment or the literary equivalent of sniffing an alluring sea breeze. It would perk you right up.

My emails are (as a rule) short, fun, informative, and as entertaining as possible.

Sometimes that means sharing a story, a poem, or one of motorcycle misadventures. Sometimes I offer deals, sales, behind-the-scenes info, insight into my writing process, and updates on my writing projects (like the YA fantasy novel I’m writing).

The goal is always good writing, good fun, and adding a touch of pizzazz to your day.

Four images are grouped artfully on the screen. The first shows a line representation of a feral cat, the next a notebook and pencil on a wooden table, the next two hands typing at a black keyboard, and the last, a woman lying on her side reading books.
