Corn,
Corn, Corn: This little story was inspired by all the times Wayne
visited his wife's family dairy farm in Dane County, Wisconsin. There's lots of
Scandinavian humor, which should probably ring true, since Wayne has been doing
this kind of humor in his shows for over thirty years!
With this published story, Wayne was the featured cover author for the March,
2010 issue of Piker Press.

Promised Land: The first fiction story Wayne wrote when he got back into
writing.
It was published in the November, '09 issue of the Australian Horror magazine,
"Midnight Echo,"
even
though it's all about driving across Nebraska in the middle of the night.
Go
figure.
