HELP!

Posted bytwlofgrenPosted inUncategorized

I’ve finally accumulated enough short stories to fill an anthology. They range in style from happy to sad to quirky to…let’s just say Rod Serling’s and Kurt Vonnegut’s influence is self-evident. But I have a dilemma. My working title causes some people to say “Ew-w. Others get the joke. I’ve thought of a couple of alternate titles and would like your opinion. (Note: each would have the sub-title “The short stories of T.W. Lofgren)

Here’s the choices:

1. Skid Marks on My Shorts. The cover would have men’s underwear hanging on a clothesline.

2. Stories From the Reading Room. Cover art: a toilet with a stack of books on the tank. This is inspired by a brother in-law who kept a stack of magazines and cartoon books in his bathroom.

3. Bathroom Chronicles. Cover art: an outhouse.

Tell me what you think and feel free to add your thoughts or other title ideas. Thank you all!

T.W. Lofgren’s career began as a photographer, passing through a period in construction trades and as a claims adjuster for a major company. His creative writing developed from a challenge set down by his daughter—to explore a talent first discovered in a college creative writing course. His writing style blends satire, reality, and fantasy to make a poignant commentary on today’s critical issues. His short stories were published in several anthologies, and his novella, Dodging Butterflies—The Autobiography of Thomas Speaker, gained recognition for participation in the Writer’s Digest self-published book awards. An active member of The Space Coast Writer’s Guild and Palm Bay Writer’s Group, Mr. Lofgren currently lives on Florida’s Space Coast, where he struggles to keep his garden thriving.
