Interviews

featuredimage Weekly Feature: Christopher J. Dwyer
by Carlton Lloyd Smith and Paquita Roth

Troubadour 21 is very proud to introduce Christopher Dwyer as our T21 in-house writer. He will be writing two stories a month, exclusively for T21. Christopher is a writer from Boston, Massachusetts, and his stories are beautifully written, filled with vivid images that either touch one’s heart or send chills down one’s spine. He has a special gift of being able to write in a variety of styles, either sensitive, touching love stories from a masculine perspective, or eery noir thriller stories of gore and blood that make one want to lock all doors and bolt all windows.

Shantel Bolks attacks the strings of her Takamine Guitar with all the skill and craft of a master that has been playing for years.

The vocals are just as masterful and her country, folk style is mesmerizing in the way she executes each and every song on this album.

Short Stories

Coffee Stains
by Len Kuntz

I wonder who’s a racist and which of these might have been the one to chuck that trash can through the storefront window.


They Went
by Patrick Trotti

They went because they couldn’t say no to him. He was a terrifying figure, one that nobody wanted to anger.


Close to the Bone
by Kenneth Radu

Nightmare startled Isaac awake. If he turned, confusing dream with reality, he would see Emma’s bloodied head on the pillow.


Slated for Termination
by Rick Huffman

“Come on, keep this line moving,” said the man dressed in Khaki and wearing a sidearm.


Goofy

My mother always had the best luck. She is humble and will never admit it but it’s true.


Essays

This Old House of Mine
by Tom Sheehan

For history and legend sakes, certain attributes, character traits if you will, have to be appointed here at the beginning of This Old House (C. 1742), home for half a century of my life.


Dilligaf: The Limbo
by Nabina Das

Getting on a real Ferris wheel is sometimes a better way to have my head spin. Sheher Dilli surpasses that wretched giant toy.


Applesmoke, Friendship
by Tom Sheehan

And we were staunch friends, at the outset of a lasting friendship.


It’s All in the Maul
by Tom Sheehan

The deep woods glistened with a scary silence, now and then broken and highlighted by the crack of a freezing limb swearing it would fall to earth, yet promising a minor distortion.


The Day Titanic Drowned
by Tom Sheehan

We were sitting on empty nail kegs next to his icehouse on the edge of Lily Pond in Saugus, Doc Sawyer and me, talking about everything and nothing in particular.
