Barbotte

[John McFetridge]

A couple of years ago a short story I wrote called Barbotte appeared in Dave Zeltserman's webzine Hard Luck Stories, edited by Ed Gorman.

Now Smashwords has made it easy for me to give the story away in a bunch of different formats. I use the Stanza app to read Smashwords books on my iPod. You don't need a dedicated e-reader, the books can be read online and are also available as .pdf and text files.

This is my first (and so far only) historical story. It takes place in Montreal in 1946, the summer Jackie Robinson broke baseball's "colour-line" with the Dodgers' top farm team, the Montreal Royals.

The story is available here.
