Route of Cinder
Amateur fiction writer in Zahle, Lebanon, keeping company with two Labradors who think they own the couch and mezcal mule when out with friends. My wheelhouse is Humor & Satire and Letters & Transcripts, told in first-person past tense in a voice that is literate with dry humor. Constructive comments and favorites are always welcome. Ranked by how many readers finish them. Some are free to read in full; the rest open with a free preview.
