Dear Reader,

During  2008 I'll post a short story every month or two  for your reading pleasure here. Please bookmark this page and come back often -- and send your friends over, too. Thank you.

If you enjoy it, please be sure to subscribe to my newsletter so you can get more ebooks of stories, novellas, novels and more in the Members Area of DouglasClegg.com -- and also receive notes directly from my desk about upcoming projects, novels, and events.

For September, the story is "Becoming Men."

Offended by violence and bad language? You might want to skip it. It's a bit rough and nasty, about boys in a boot camp for bad kids -- and the brutality of their guardians.
